Holocaust Era Asset Restitution Taskforce
The Holocaust Era Asset Restitution Taskforce or Project HEART was a Holocaust restitution project that was created by a decision of the Israeli Government to locate Holocaust victims and their heirs and the property that was taken from them during the Holocaust and to assist in obtaining restitution for that property. Restitution would have been sought using databases containing the data submitted by Holocaust victims and their heirs and information about the property that was taken from them. Those who were interested in participating were directed to fill out a questionnaire to determine their eligibility and may also have accessed a website and call center for assistance. Questionnaires had been collected and processed by an administrator and then forwarded to the Israeli Government, which had planned to negotiate with the relevant Governments, companies and others who hold Holocaust assets. This project used innovations, such as the Internet, not used in previous restitution attempts and marked the most serious attempt at obtaining restitution for aged Holocaust victims and their heirs. As of April 2014 the project lost 95% of its funding, is accepting no requests, and has been absorbed into the Israeli Ministry of Senior Citizens. 〔http://forward.com/articles/201298/survivors-bereft-as-israel-abruptly-shuts-holocaus/?p=all〕
== Origin of the project and purpose ==
Project HEART was an undertaking of the Government of Israel in cooperation with the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/143800 )〕 It was chaired by Rafi Eitan, former senior citizens affairs minister, and its executive director was Bobby Brown of JAFI. Brown has been involved in Holocaust restitution for more than ten years, including when he served as Diaspora affairs advisor during Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s first term.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/israel-jewish-agency-launch-global-effort-to-locate-property-lost-in-holocaust-1.344081 )〕
The project began in late February 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/project-hearts-comprehensive-archive-of-jewish-holocaust-victims-assets-now-contains-15-million-records-126111748.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/project-hearts-comprehensive-archive-of-jewish-holocaust-victims-assets-now-contains-15-million-records-126111748.html )〕 It was being funded by the Israeli government, which provided it with more than $2.5 million a year for three years. This was the first time the government of Israel had sponsored a Holocaust restitution project.〔
Its purpose was to locate Jewish Holocaust victims and their heirs whose personal property was seized by the Nazis and provide them with the means and information to help them seek restitution for the stolen property.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/world/middleeast/03holocaust.html?_r=2 )〕 Efforts to reach people worldwide included advertising, media exposure, and encouraging Jewish nongovernmental organizations to spread the word to their members and to the Jewish community in general.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/739125/worldwide-effort-launched-to-identify-jewish-personal-property-confiscated-by-nazis )〕 The program’s focus was to gather information with the ultimate goal of restitution. Its first step was to identify people with potential claims for certain types of private property that was confiscated, looted, or forcibly sold in countries governed or occupied by Nazi or Axis forces during the Holocaust. The various types of property that are eligible for restitution include immovable property such as real estate; movable property such as jewelry, tools, or art; or intangible personal property such as stocks, bonds, or savings accounts.〔〔 However, if Holocaust victims or their heirs had already received restitution for a particular piece of property, then they were no longer eligible for participation in Project HEART.〔〔
