“Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession?” Nazi Wrongs and the West German Equalization of Burdens Law
Dr. Iris Nachum
The project investigates how the West German Equalization of Burdens Law (Lastenausgleichsgesetz, LAG) coped, in theory and in practice, with cases involving Nazi wrongs. The LAG was enacted by the West German legislature on August 14, 1952 and intended to financially compensate those Germans who had suffered economic harm due to World War II.
