The Nazis & their cohorts stole mercilessly from the Jews of Europe. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, returning survivors had to navigate unclear & hostile legal paths to recover their stolen property from governments & neighbours who often had been complicit. While the return of Nazi-looted art & recent legal settlements involving dormant Swiss bank accounts, unpaid insurance policies & use of slave labour by German companies have been well-publicized, efforts by Holocaust survivors & heirs over the last 70 years to recover stolen land & buildings were forgotten. In 2009, 47 countries convened in Prague to deal with the lingering problem of restitution of prewar private, communal, & heirless property stolen during the Holocaust. The outcome was the Terezin Declaration on Holocaust Era Assets & Related Issues, aiming to 'rectify the consequences' of the wrongful Nazi-era immovable property seizures.
