Austria: got back properties confiscated by Nazis, indicted
Controversy about the case of Jewish writer Stephan Templ
07 October, 15:19
(ANSA) - BERLIN - A lot of controversies were created by the
case of the Jewish writer Stephan Templ, indicted in Vienna for
fraud and sentenced to a year in prison as consequence of a
story born from the request for the return of a family building,
confiscated to his ancestors by the Nazis.
Templ, who lives in Prague, had applied in 2005, on behalf of
his mother, to get some of a State building token away by the
Nazi regime, a right that was recognized to him in the first
instance. Subsequently, however, the right was challenged and
the writer and historian, who had already received compensation,
as he had deliberately concealed the existence of another aunt
entitled to compensation, cheating the state. (ANSA).
