The General Settlement Fund is seeking the heirs of late applicants

The work of the General Settlement Fund for Victims of National Socialism shall reach its conclusion in the near future. The majority of the payments compensating losses of assets have already been made. However, there are cases in which the applicant passed away before receiving the final payment and in which neither heirs nor contact persons are known to the General Settlement Fund.
