Be holocaust era insurance claims. What to do that went out. Difficult topic in many ways but i am glad we are having that hearing. Senator feinstein, i really i want to opening statement, i will defer to you. Percival thank you mr. Chairman. For holding this hearing. Today we are discussing holocaust era insurance claims. Its interesting before and during the second world war, many europeans purchased insurance policies to protect their assets and loved ones. While many of these individuals perished as victims of the holocaust, those who survived and the heirs of those who did not have sent attempted to collect the proceeds from those policies.
