During National Socialist rule in Austria (1938-1945), real estate
and movable Jewish communal property became the subject of
systematic confiscation. In most cases, real estate owned by Jews
was 'aryanized' through involuntary sales or confiscated through
direct governmental action. Other Jewish property assets, including
religious and cultural property, were also confiscated without
compensation. After 1945, a part of the confiscated real estate in
Austria was the subject of restitution proceedings. In many cases,
the properties were either returned to their original owners or an
agreement was made for suitable monetary compensation. Other
confiscated properties became public property. In the Washington
Agreement of 2001, the Republic of Austria agreed to embark on in
rem restitution of property, allowing the restoration of property
which had become public property, to its former owners or their
heirs. An Arbitration Panel for In Rem Restitution was established,
and in due course has begun to publish the reports of its
deliberations. The Arbitration Panel can recommend an in rem
restitution of publicly-owned property which had been confiscated
but had not been the subject of restitution proceedings after 1945.
In many cases, restitution proceedings had already occurred after
1945, but even in these cases the Arbitration Panel can act if new
evidence has arisen or if the earlier proceedings resulted in
'extreme injustice.' 366 claims were judged to have met application
requirements, and these cases have subsequently been the subject of
careful juridical and historical investigation. The volumes in this
series reproduce the judgments of the Arbitral Panel on those 366
claims. As such they represent a significant body of case law on
Nazi expropriations and property restitution affecting a large
number of applicants worldwide. The substance of these judgements
will be of intense legal and historical interest.
