Israel group fights for claims of the Shirat Hadin

A legal advocacy group with its headquarters in Israel is asking Australian survivors of the Holocaust and their descendants to join the program to bring lawsuits against insurance companies whose Holocaust antecedents refused to pay out for policies held by displaced European Jews.

Nitsana Darshan Leitner Nitsana Darshan, an Israeli lawyer and human rights activist, said she believes that Shurat HaDin Israel Law Centre was the founder of Project Last Chance. It will pursue insurance companies who made use of the chaos of World War II or the Shoah in order to avoid paying victims, survivors and their descendants.

"My task now is to ensure that victims receive compensation at the end of their life. It's money due to survivors. nitsana darshan leitner You can insure your possessions including your house and life, but no one can take it away from you.

Another theory suggests that Israel did not realize the reticence of European governments when confronted with lists of hundreds of thousands of applicants.

Darshan Leitner said Darshan Leitner Darshan Leitner explained, however, that Project Heart participants might be qualified to take part in class actions in Project Last Chance if their identities are disclosed to Shurat HaiDin.
