Less Than Slaves: Jewish Forced Labor and the Quest for CompensationIn Less Than Slaves Benjamin B. Ferencz describes the painstaking efforts that were made to persuade German industrialists such as I.G. Farben, Krupp, AEG, Rheinmetall, and Daimler-Benz to compensate camp inmates who were exploited as forced laborers. The meager outcome of these efforts emerges from searing pages that detail the difficulties confronted by Ferencz and his dedicated colleagues. This engrossing narrative is a vital resource for all who are concerned with the moral, legal, and practical implications of the recent explosive outburst of claims for reparations from victims of persecution throughout the world. First published in 1979, Ferencz's penetrating firsthand account returns to print with the author's evaluation of its historical significance and current relevance. Copyright © Libri GmbH.
