The file contains five circulars (“Rundschreiben”) by the United Restitution Organization (Frankfurt) from 1969. The circulars include the following issues: no. 1607, no. 1597, no. 1594, no. 1641, and no. 1592. They mainly deal with recent court judgements made by the German Federal Court (Bundesgerichtshof) on questions of restitution after Nazi persecution, especially regarding juridical regulations and procedures for various health damages due to Nazi persecution. The issues mainly focus on questions of the actual relation between health damages and the experience of persecution. The topics include: „Gesundheitsschaden, hier: Angleichung“ and „Gesundheitsschaden, hier: Anlagebedingtheit im engeren und weiteren Sinn“, but also: „Gesundheitsschaden, hier: anlagebedingtes Leiden und Einwirkung der Verfolgung“, „Gesundheitsschaden, hier: Rücknahme des Anspruchs wegen Beweisschwierigkeiten“, „Gesundheitsschaden, hier: Widerlegung gesetzlicher Vermutungen und Ursachenaustausch“.
