Federal Association of Thalidomide Victims
The Federal Association of Thalidomide Victims was founded in 1963 as an amalgamation of the regional interest groups of the parents of thalidomide-damaged children. The exchange of experiences between the parents and the trial against the Stolberg company Grünenthal was at the fore. The chairmen were among others from 1963-1967 Karl Hermann Schulte-Hillen, victim lawyer in the process , and 1972-1991 Hans-Helmut Schleifenbaum, since 1991 Margit Hudelmaier . Today the federal association exists as one of many representatives of the interests of thalidomide victims, B. next to the Contergannetzwerk Deutschland eV .
Although the federal association initially declared itself to be “neutral” in the legal dispute between Grünenthal and the Zeitsprung company over the television film “A Single Tablet” , the thalidomide pensions were doubled due to public pressure as a result of the film.
Margit Hudelmaier is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Contergan Foundation . The deputy chairman Thorsten Albrecht is, like two other advisory board members, a member of the research advisory board of the Contergan Foundation.
