Re: German WWII reparations records online? #germany #holocaust #records

Hi,
This is difficult if not impossible to search on-line. My experience is that you need to write to or visit the appropriate archive. There is a central archive at the Finance ministry in Berlin Bibliothek, AfR-Archiv, Rückerstattungsarchiv
E-Mail mit Kunstbezug: Kunst-BRUEG-Archiv@...
State archives may also hold the records. My father was born in Hessen but in 1939 married and lived in Cologne. I was advised to contact the NRW Archive who eventually sent me a disc with over 500 pages of correspondence. There may be a charge for this service but my documents came free. If your relative lived in NRW then the contact details are Landesarchiv Nordrhein-Westfalen Abteilung Rheinland Schifferstr. 30 47059 Duisburg Telefon 0203 98721-327
Regards,
Peter
