The German government’s indemnification programs under the BEG laws of the 1950s and 1960s (sometimes known as “Wiedergutmachung”) are administered from offices in Germany and you must contact Germany directly. For general questions, or if you don’t know which office administers your BEG pension, you can contact the central inquiry office of the German Federal Ministry of Finance (which oversees Holocaust related issues) at the following address: Bundesfinanzdirektion West (Federal Finance Office (West)) Arbeitsbereich RF 42 C Zentrale Auskunftsstelle zur Wiedergutmachung Nationalsozialistischen Unrechts Wörthstrasse 1 – 3 50668 Cologne, Germany (Tel. +49 221 22 25 50). If you are unable to contact Germany, you can consult your local German consulate or the Embassy of Germany in Washington, D.C.
