Berlin To Share Out

£20 Million A Year

Berlin, Mar. 21.

The West Berlin city government plans to pay out 1,750,000,000 marks (about £146,000,000 sterling) to victims of Nazi persecution in the next seven years in full settlement of their 11-year-old claims.

With the financial year beginning on April 1 the city will for the first time have 250 million marks each year solely for these compensation payments, against only 300,000,000 marks made available in the five years since 1951.
