HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS OWED $175 BILLION
Study: Holocaust survivors owed as much as USD 175 billion (YNET)
Holocaust survivors are still owed between $115 billion and $175 billion in restitution despite six decades of efforts to return everything the Nazis stole, from their homes to businesses, a new study prepared for Jerusalem-based Jewish Political Studies Review said on Thursday.
In the last decade, restitution efforts intensified due to the end of the Cold War, as well as public pressure spurred by new reports of the extent of Nazi looting and an uproar over efforts by Swiss banks to conceal victim accounts, said the study's author, international economist Sidney Zabludoff.

Obviously survivors need to be supported as a first priority.
My family was decimated by the Shoa. A small remnant of my family had emmigrated to the US before the war. The balance, and majority, died in the camps. All of our property and business interests were confiscated by the Nazis and their collaberators. When will my family be compensated for the property and lives taken? Who is working on our behalf. NO ONE!
