GERMAN GHETTO PENSIONS! June 3rd, 2009 – In a case involving two Holocaust survivors, a German Court has ruled that survivors who worked in ghettos are entitled to German Social Security pensions even if they cannot prove that they had worked for remuneration. This is a reversal of previous decisions. 90 percent of the 70,000 claimants who had previously applied had been rejected because of lack of proof. Now there is new hope. We will keep you informed. Leo Rechter.
