Algerian Jews sue Germany for Holocaust reparations

Although they were not forced into ghettos, Claims Conference says Berlin should compensate Algerian Jews for stripping citizenship and professions under Vichy regime

Now the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, also known as the Claims Conference, is making the case to the German government that it should compensate Jews who were in Algeria at the time of the Shoah.

“It was obviously not like the camps in Poland, but it doesn’t mean that there wasn’t persecution — and on that basis we believe that people are entitled to compensation,” said Greg Schneider, the executive vice president of the Claims Conference.
