BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 31: Duchess Beatrix von Oldenburg, a speaker for land reform claimants in Germany, attends a news conference on March 31, 2005 in Berlin, Germany. The claimants, whose land in the former East Germany was confiscated by the state after 1945, are seeking compensation from the current German government for property never restituted. The Strasbourg Court of Human Rights ruled it did not have jurisdiction. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
