Einbürgerung von NS-Verfolgten und ihren Abkömmlingen (§ 15 StAG)
This naturalization procedure for historical reparation was created specifically to do justice to those descendants who were left out of the constitutional path traditional. While the previous article restores the citizenship to those who suffered a direct and nominal removal of your passport, § 15 of the Nationality Act (StAG) protects those who lost or were never able to acquire nationality due to the persecutions of the National Socialist regime among 1933 and 1945.
While the previous article repairs those who were already Germans and took away their passport and citizenship (expatriation), the § 15 of the Nationality Act (StAG) It is for those who suffered other previous injustices that prevented it from becoming or maintaining it.
It is the indicated path for complex cases where the ancestor was forced to emigrate and, for example, lost citizenship German when he adopted Argentine nationality, or was deprived of the possibility of naturalizing in Germany for reasons political, racial or religious. In our studio We carefully analyze the historical context of your family To determine the exact framing, we located the files required documents and we structure a presentation solid before Bundesverwaltungsamt (BVA) to open a door that the previous bureaucracy kept closed.
