Israel group's fight for claim to [Shurat hadin]

AN Israeli-based legal activist group is urging Australian survivors and their descendants to join its class action program against insurance companies whose Holocaust-era antecedents did not pay for policies held by displaced and killed European Jews.

Nitsana Darshan Leitner Nitsana Darshan, an Israeli lawyer and human rights advocate claimed that Shurat HaDin Israel Law Centre was the genesis of Project Last Chance. It will seek to bring insurance companies accountable who made use of the chaos of World War II or the Shoah to keep from paying survivors, victims, and their heirs.


Israel Law Center Israel Law Center "My goal is to get compensation for the victims to the end their lives. It's money that survivors are entitled to they are owed money. https://honestreporting.com/tag/shurat-hadin/ You can insure your assets including your home or your life, but nobody can take it from you.

nitsana darshan leitner Darshan Leitner claimed Darshan-Leitner stated that US Senate estimates indicate that as high as 200 billion dollars in payments were withheld from Jewish policyholders due to insurance companies that were in default during WWII. Many of these companies have successor entities that can be traced today, which have inherited these debts.

aviel darshan leitner Shurat HaDin will use its expertise to investigate banks and financial institutions, like banks that contain terrorist assets.

"We have initiated legal proceedings against banks, governments and companies that have helped or encouraged terrorist activities. She stated that we are able to deal with large multinational banks and companies.

Shurat HaDin is launching a legal action in Israel to gain access to the database that contains around 140,000 Holocaust survivors and their descendants. Israel Law Center The database was developed as part of the Israeli government's Project Heart between 2011 and. The Israeli government, working with the Jewish Agency for Israel, invited applicants into the restitution program, but the scheme was abruptly ended and the participants who had signed up were left in limbo.

Shurat HaDin tried to get in touch with the government but received no response. https://www.timesofisrael.com/topic/nitsana-darshan-leitner/ But Israel's Labour and Social Services Ministry declared that Project Heart was never intended as a single claims scheme and therefore, the information of claimants cannot be made public. One theory is that Israel underestimated European governments intransigence when faced with lists of claims ranging from hundreds and thousands of claims.

However, if their names are made public to Shurat HaDin The Project Heart participants could become applicants in class actions launched under Project Last Chance, Darshan-Leitner said.

nitsana darshan leitner She said Project Last Chance is taking an approach that is different from the Claims Conference, established in 1951, which has petitioned governments for Holocaust restitution, rather than focusing on companies and businesses directly.
