Germans who returned Jewish property which they had purchased, during the Nazi regime would be compensated by the Government, according to a bill drafted here today by the Ministry of Finance. The measure must first be approved by the Cabinet, then go through Parliament, before it becomes law.

Under the proposal, only those Germans who had made “adequate payment” for Jewish property they took over during the war will be repaid, if they returned that property to the former Jewish owners. The bill would not apply to Germans who had taken over Jewish property “through pressure of unethical business methods. “
