We are aware of the legal case concerning Stephan Templ. Our Embassy has close relations
with the Secretary General of the Austrian National Fund for Victims of National Socialism,
which was established in 1995 to fulfil Austria’s responsibility towards the victims
of National Socialism. The British Government encourages the authorities in Austria
and other countries in the region to address restitution and compensation claims from
those who were tragically affected by the Holocaust as soon as possible, in a way
that would be just and satisfactory to the claimants. We will continue to engage with
the authorities to press the case for victims of National Socialism to receive justice
and fair compensation, particularly through the International Holocaust Remembrance
Alliance. The Government has appointed Sir Eric Pickles as its envoy for post holocaust
issues, and he will continue to raise such issues at every opportunity.
