U.S. Embassy Congratulates Luxembourg for its Historic Agreement on Outstanding Holocaust Issues
The United States Embassy in Luxembourg congratulates the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for signing an historic agreement today with the Jewish Community of Luxembourg, together with the World Jewish Restitution Organization and the Luxembourg Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah.
It is only fitting this historic agreement is being signed on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day where Governments and Jewish Communities around the world remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
The origins of this agreement date back to 2009, when the United States, Luxembourg and 45 other countries committed to rectify the consequences of the Nazi-era wrongful asset seizures and to promote the welfare of Holocaust survivors around the world by endorsing the Terezin Declaration.
