FIRST EDITION. German text.

First publication demanding financial reparations from Germany. Long before the war ended, the author formulated the proposition that a State can commit injustice from which an individual citizen is entitled to make a personal claim against. This legal opinion became the basis for the reparations that the Federal Republic of Germany paid to the Jewish People. Siegfried Moses (1887-1974) had been chairman of the Zionist Federation of Germany (ZVfD). Upon his Aliyah to Palestine, he rose to become the first State Comptroller of the State of Israel.
