Camp Survivors
Get Compensation
Los Angeles (JTA) — American
citizens imprisoned in Nazi con-
centration camps can seek resti-
tution from the German
government through a new U.S.
government program.
"It is essential that those who
suffered at the hands of the
Nazis receive reparations for
what they lost," said U.S. Attor-
ney General Janet Reno, who an-
nounced the program June 13 at
the Simon Wiesenthal Center
here. "We can't calculate their
loss in mere money, but we can
seek to redress their losses."
The Holocaust Claims Pro-
gram is an outgrowth of the case
of Hugo Princz, who battled the
German and U.S. governments
for 40 years to obtain reparations
for the 38 months he was held in
Treblinka, Auschwitz and
Dachau. His parents and six sib-
lings died in the camps.
Mr. Princz, now 73, was born
to a naturalized American busi-
nessman in what is now Slova-
kia, making him a U.S. citizen at
birth. Although the family had
American passports, they were
imprisoned by the Nazis.
In September, the United
States and Germany signed an
agreement under which Mr.
Princz and 10 other American
survivors shared a one-time pay-
ment of $2.1 million from the
German government.
The new program gives oth-
er U.S. survivors of the Holo-
caust until Sept. 30 to file claims
with the U.S. Justice Depart-
ment's Foreign Claims Settle-
ment Commission.
Ms. Reno estimated that there
may be five to 50 such survivors
who, like Mr. Princz, fell through
the cracks and were never com-
pensated.
This number may include
some American Jewish service-
men who were sent to slave la-
bor camps after being captured.
However, the claims agree-
ment specifically excludes, at
Germany's insistence, survivors
who were only subject to forced
labor, as well as those who al-
ready received any amount of
compensation.
Mr. Princz's attorney, William
Blake of Washington, D.C.,
agreed with Ms. Reno's estimate
of other similar survivors, adding
that he has been contacted by 10
to 12 possible claimants.
The amount of money paid to
future claimants will depend on
their concentration camp expe-
riences, as well as on the total
figures negotiated by the U.S.
and German governments.
Eligible survivors must file
their claims by Sept. 30 with the
Foreign Claims Settlement Corn-
mission, Washington, D.C.

tain forms, phone (202) 616-6975
