More than 12,000 victims of Nazism now living in the United States have filed indemnification claims amounting to over $15,000,000 against four German provinces in the United States zone of Germany, it was announced here today by the American Federation of Jews from Central Europe.
The claims were processed by the Federation’s Indemnification Section which is sponsored jointly by the United Service for New Americans, New York Association for New Americans and HIAS. Several thousand DP’s who arrived in this country during the past six months filed their claims before they left Germany and received part payment there. Claims are for imprisonment in concentration camps and for damage and losses suffered during the Nazi regime.
