正文(英文) | Last call for claims to scheme compensating victims of Nazis for property confiscated in WWIIThe government is consulting on a final date for the closure of schemes compensating individuals whose assets were confiscated by the UK government where they had suffered Nazi persecution.
The UK government has made a final call for claims for compensation for those who had property confiscated during World War II. For more than 20 years the Enemy Property Claims Assessment Panel (EPCAP) has been compensating individuals whose assets were confiscated by the UK government where they had suffered Nazi persecution. The Panel also oversee the Baltic States Scheme. Today, the government is launching a consultation on a final date for closure of the schemes, which have provided over £25 million of compensation over the course of their operation. To date, EPCAP has considered more than 1200 applications for compensation, but in recent years the numbers of claims submitted has fallen substantially. Other comparable compensation schemes across Europe concluded their operations many years ago. Those who have received compensation under the scheme have included a non-Jewish doctor who risked his life to help Jewish colleagues and was forced to flee his home, the family of an art collector who perished in the Holocaust, while his collection was sold off for profit, and Jewish people who fled from France to South America. The government will now consult on a final date for claims to be submitted, with a provisional date set for 9 September 2022, pending response to the consultation. Potential claimants will be able to lodge claims throughout the consultation period. Business Minister Paul Scully said:
EPCAP Panel Chair Arthur Harverd said:
During the period of the Second World War the UK government confiscated assets in British territories owned by residents of enemy countries, including the former Nazi Germany, Italy and Japan and countries occupied by them, under the Trading with the Enemy Act 1939. There are 2 schemes administered by the Enemy Property Claims Assessment Panel:
Individuals who believe that they or a direct relation may have held or deposited assets in the UK that were then confiscated by the UK government are encouraged to make their claim to EPCAP. Both Schemes are administered by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Any individuals or organisations who would like to respond to the consultation for a final date for the EPCAP scheme can do so. Notes to editors
