Furthermore, the issues focus on the status of being recognized as a refugee (“Flüchtlingseigenschaft”), damages to education following Nazi persecution, and pensions. The topics include: „Ererbten Ausbildungsschaden“, „Elternrente, hier: Bedürftigkeit“, „Flüchtlingseigenschaft“, „Leistungsvorbehalt“.
