Holocaust Restitution in Israel If a member of your family perished in the Holocaust, you might be a beneficiary to an asset in Israel.
The State of Israel is urgently searching heirs of Holocaust victims through its official restitution agency, The Company for Location & Restitution of Holocaust Victims’ Assets. The agency was set up by the Israeli Knesset and is currently administering over 60,000 unclaimed properties, bank accounts, stocks and bonds - all acquired in the Land of Israel, by individuals who perished during the Holocaust. The company's website holds a list of names of the original asset purchasers and instructions on how to file a claim. Interested parties may also call a toll free number to leave contact information.
