Search of heirs of Holocaust victims continues • South America Campaign

Asara Be'Teves and the General Kadish Day have indeed passed, but in the Company for Location and Restitution of Holocaust Victims Assets there are continuing attempts to locate potential heirs to 60,000 properties which have been identified, and are now in the hands of the company.

After a successful campaign in North America, the company is expanding its activities: In the last month the company published ads in all Jewish media and communities in South America (including Brazil, Mexico and Argentina), Australia and South Africa, a campaign which has never been done in these countries.

It turns out that most of the Jews who live in these places - are from Europe, and therefore the company operates a global effort to reach them, and call them - through advertising – to go into on-site databases of the company, try to locate a family contact to properties, and to apply for return of property.

Micha Harish, chairman, said that the company is looking since its inception in every corner of the world, for the heirs of Holocaust victims to recover their property, their loved ones who perished in the Holocaust. "This is a property held in Israel, but there is a high probability that the heirs of these assets are among Diaspora Jews, since those assets were acquired prior to World War II - before the Holocaust. "

"The company is working to locate the heirs of assets energetically and with determination, it is our moral duty to do everything possible to find among Diaspora Jews the property owners and give them their own, and thus close a circle and bring about historical justice."
