A Long, Hard Road: Reparations for Victims of Nazism in Europe

Summary/Abstract: Hockerts, Hans Gunter, Claudia Moisel, and Tobias Winstel (eds). Grenzen der Wiedergutmachung: Die Entschadigung der NS-Verfolgte in West- und Osteuropa 1945–2000. Gottingen: Wallstein, 2006, 876 pp. According to the reviewer, the topic discussed in the volume under review has never before been considered in such breadth and depth. Its twenty contributors concentrate on three areas: the approach of the German authorities to the demands for reparations to victims of Nazism, ‘reparations diplomacy’ in eleven countries of western Europe, and the ‘freezing’ of reparations in four countries of eastern Europe. The articles in the volume seek to answer the fundamental question of how it happened that foreign victims of the Nazi regime were long excluded from German reparations, and it painstakingly traces the thorny path to redress.
