Mixed Claims Commission

Following the Lusitania disaster, a number of survivors and relatives of victims sued the Government of Germany for compensation. After the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I, the German Government agreed to the lawsuits as stipulated by the Treaty of Berlin, signed August 25, 1921. The Mixed Claims Commission was the arbiter that decided how much each claimant would receive in compensation from the German Government.

The following is a selection of claims made by relatives of survivors and victims of the Lusitania disaster. Effort has been made to preserve the original grammar and spelling as in the original text of the Mixed Claims Commission. Further claims will be added to the website from time to time.
