File Numbers


 

The file numbers provide some initial information about the restitution claim in question. For example, property confiscated in an occupied country was given a file number containing an abbreviation of that country’s name (in German).
There were also special file numbers for property confiscated as part of the so-called Furniture Operation (Möbel-Aktion, or simply M-Aktion ), during which furniture and other household effects were seized in occupied countries.
