...On Sunday, Israel’s Cabinet took a small step toward giving additional aid to the survivors, recognizing their umbrella group as their official representative. Because entire European families and communities were eliminated by the Nazi death machine, millions of dollars in bank accounts and other valuables remain unclaimed.
Project HEART, The Holocaust Era Asset Restitution Taskforce, has amassed a database listing over 650,000 pieces of property owned by Jews in prewar Europe.
Bobby Brown, the executive director of Project HEART, said the campaign hopes to deliver restitution to aging survivors before it is too late.
“Now is the time for us to do our utmost to give these heroes some of the compensation that has been denied them for so long,” he said.
The campaign is a joint initiative of the Israeli government and the quasi-governmental Jewish Agency.
Success!
