Israel group fights over claims [Shurat Hadin]

AN Israeli-based legal activist organization is encouraging Australian survivors and their families to join its class action program against insurance companies whose Holocaust-era antecedents were unable to pay out for policies issued by refugees and murdered European Jews.

Nitsana Darshan Leitner Nitsana Darshan, an Israeli lawyer and human rights advocate said she believes that Shurat HaDin Israel Law Centre was the founder of Project Last Chance. It will sue insurance companies that used the chaos of World War II or the Shoah to keep from paying survivors, victims, and their heirs.

"My mission now is to help victims get compensation toward the time they reach the end of their lives. It's money that survivors are due, it's them money. You can insure your assets including your house and life, but no one will be able to steal it.

Darshan Leitner claimed Darshan-Leitner stated that US Senate estimates indicate that as high as $200 billion in cash payments were rescinded from Jewish policyholders because of delinquent WWII-era insurers. Many of these firms have traceable successor companies in the present, who have inherited the liabilities.

Shurat HaDin leverages its expertise in the hunt for financial institutions, including banks that hold assets of terrorist organizations.

" Shurat Hadin 've initiated legal proceedings against nations that have been a part of the banking system, against banks, and against businesses that are involved in aiding and aiding in the spread of terrorism. nitsana darshan leitner said that she's had the experience and isn't unwilling to challenge countries, large companies as well as international banks.

Shurat haDin has also launched legal action in Israel to gain access to an inventory of more than 140,000 Holocaust survivors and their descendants. This database is part Israel's Project Heart. It comprises around 2 million assets. Together with Jewish Agency for Israel (Israel's government), applicants were invited to participate in the restitution program. The program was abruptly shut down, leaving participants uncertain.

aviel darshan leitner contacted the government and they haven't replied. The Labour and Social Services Ministry in Israel said Project Heart was not intended to be an individual claims scheme. Therefore, claimants' information cannot be disclosed. https://www.asian-tapas.com/auto-draft-209/ is that Israel underestimated the intransigence of European governments when faced with lists of hundreds or thousands of claimants.

Darshan Leitner said that Project Heart participants could be applicants for class actions in Project Last Chance if their identities were disclosed to Shurat haDin.

Project Last Chance was a novel approach to the Claims Conference. She stated that it has petitioned authorities for Holocaust Restitution instead of directly targeting businesses and firms.
