A delegation representing Jewish victims of Nazi persecution today called on Georg von Lilienfeld, Minister of the West German Embassy, to urge that Germany expedite and broaden a new German indemnification law to benefit Hitler’s victims.
The delegation, headed by Moses Socachevsky, the group’s president, and Felix Lasky, its secretary, stressed the need for inclusion of Eastern European victims in the indemnification, the re-opening of disability cases, and designation of more physicians to issue final certificates of disability with creation of facilities outside of New York City to serve victims now residing in other cities.
