The indemnification claims of individual Nazi victims can now be paid in full if they are based on imprisonment in jails or concentration camps, on injury to health suffered in consequence of Nazi persecution or on the death of the family breadwinner in the case of widows and orphans.
Full settlement of such claims was heretofore dependent upon proof that the Nazi victim was sick, needy or elderly. This proof is still required in other types of compensation claims, mainly those dealing with property losses, impairment of professional careers, and related categories.
