Welcome
Pensions for former workers in a Ghetto

For persons persecuted under National Socialism, periods of employment in a ghetto that was situated in a territory occupied by the German Reich or in a territory incorporated into it are under certain pre-conditions considered German contribution periods. From these periods a German pension can be paid also abroad. Please also note the new version of the directive on a payment in recognition of ghetto work; the deadline for applications has been abolished.
