Description
From 1942 on, concentration camp authorities sent their "able-bodied" inmates, upon demand, to companies engaged in war work. Ferencz, an international lawyer, focuses on the legal issues of this forced labor and the often frustrating and fruitless attempt to make German industry acknowledge its legal and moral responsibility and to enable Jewish survivors to receive restitution. Appendix 5 is an audited statement showing payments made by Compensation Treuhand to slave labor claimants from different countries
