The file contains the issues no. 6, no. 7, and no. 8 of the URO News, the circular of the United Restitution Office (URO), published between June 1949 and September 1949. The issues no. 6 and no. 7 mainly deal with news from the organization itself and with regulations on questions of restitution from the Western zones of Allied-occupied Germany. The issue no. 8 is incomplete. It was published as a special edition with the law texts of both the American restitution law and the restitution law in West-Berlin and the subject index of the URO News no. 1 to no. 7. However, the law texts are not part of the file. Furthermore, the file contains two typewritten documents of the International Refugee Organization: one document on the termination of the mandate of the international refugee organization as well as a press release, both dated from 1949. The URO News are mainly written in German, but might also contain parts written in English.
