Jewish Holocaust Survivors May Be Entitled
To Compensation From A New Fund
ndividuals who performed slave or forced labor under the Nazi regime may be
1 eligible for payment from the Foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and the
Future." In accordance with the German legislation, eligibility for "slave labor" and
"forced labor" is as follows:
• Slave Labor — work performed by force in a concentration
camp (as defined in the Gelman Indemnification Law) or a ghetto
or another place of confinement under comparable conditions of
hardship.
• Forced Labor — work performed by force (other than "Slave
Labor") in the territory of the German Reich or in a German-
occupied area, and outside the territory of Austria, under conditions
resembling imprisonment or extremely harsh living conditions; or
work performed by force under a program implementing the
National Socialist policy of "extermination through work"
(Vernichtung durch Arbeit) outside the territory of Austria.
The Claims Conference is administering this program for the benefit of Jewish
Holocaust survivors in this country. Heirs of laborers who died on or after February 16,
1999 may be eligible for this fund.
The deadline is August 11, 2001. If you think you may be
eligible, please obtain an application form by calling:
