Summary
Chapter 6 scrutinizes the restitution of Jewish property through litigation in court, petitioning to administrative offices, and other avenues. It shows that local Jews were successful at recuperating in court their “expropriated” residences but less successful when their tried to retrieve their “sold” homes and businesses. The administrative avenue was usually used for the restitution of communal property such as synagogues, cemeteries, schools, and other such buildings.
