The Bonn Government is preparing a report to the United Nations on measures it has taken so far to make compensation to victims of “scientific” experiments in Nazi concentration camps, it was learned today.

The Human Rights Division of the U.N., in response to protests from the Agudas Israel World Organization on Germany’s failure to aid these victims of Nazism, conveyed this information to the Jewish group. The U.N. division had given the Bonn authorities information on the cases of 200 victims of Nazi experiments. The Germans have released a credit of 500,000 deutschemarks for these survivors and the Allied High Commission in Germany has given assurance that it will permit conversion of this fund into foreign currency.
