*see Beneš decrees (wikipedia) "..As a result, almost all ethnic Germans and Hungarians whose ancestors had lived in Czechoslovakia for centuries prior to World War II or those who had settled there during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia lost their Czechoslovakian citizenship and property and were expelled from their homes.." OR www.lawyers.cz "..The decrees stated that the state should pay compensation for the expropriated companies.. ..According to him, the first wave of nationalization from 1945 affected about 3,000 largest companies, which at that time represented about two thirds of the Czechoslovak industrial potential.. Some people then received compensation on the basis of so-called replacement agreements with some Western states. These were Britain, the United States, Switzerland or Canada. In this case, according to Kuklík, the money was raised not only by foreign owners of Czech companies, but also by some Czechoslovak emigrants.." OR Rybná 9, Praha 1: Restitution and Memory in International Human Rights Law by; Patrick Macklem OR Restitution of Jewish property in the Czech Republic, by Jan Kuklik 2008 "..Although it may seem that the issue of Jewish property restitution is a closed historical chapter, in the areas of research, education, and remembrance of the horrors of the Holocaust, it is still a very vivid and relevant matter that deserves our attention.."
