This book about the reparations issue (Wiedergutmachung in German shilumim in Hebrew) brings
together selected protocols of all debates held in the Knesset in its Foreign Affairs and
Security Committee in the Government and in the high councils of the ruling party Mapai
regarding conducting negotiations with the West German Government. This is the first book
documenting confidential protocols lately opened to the public. With the elaborate introduction
by Yehiam Weitz this book will serve as a basic textbook for an important chapter not only in
Israeli and German history but also in post-war history in general.
