Warning that the restitution law provides a five-## prison term for persons failing to report they now hold Jewish property, Dr. ##lip Auerbach, Commissioner for Persecutees in the Bavarian Government, reported a press conference last night that few Germans owning such property have notified authorities.
Dr. Auerbach said that it would be impossible to permit German police to enter ##placed persons camps to make arrests, as was recently requested, since many former ##is have managed to join the police force following their “degasification.” The missioner also advocated the enactment of a law which would give concentration camp ###tims industrial property, such as factories, which were owned and operated by the ###amps “since this property was paid for by the persecutees with their own blood.”
