Board’s Restitution Committee extends deadline for evidence
In response to concerns expressed in some quarters, the Board of Deputies’ Restitution Committee
agreed last year to consider any issues raised regarding the operations and workings of the Claims Conference,
and if appropriate, to raise them with the Claims Conference and seek satisfactory and transparent answers.
All interested parties were invited to make submissions to the Committee.
Such submissions would be examined by Jeffrey Gruder QC and chartered accountant Peter Sheldon OBE
for them to advise the Board’s Honorary Officers as to whether the issues raised should be taken up with the Claims Conference.
In view of some enquiries about the process received only recently, the Committee has agreed to extend the deadline for receiving submissions from 31 May 2010 until 5 July 2010.
The Board is particularly interested to find out:
(1) whether any Kindertransport survivor or other owner of property in Germany (or their heirs)
have sought information and assistance from the Claims Conference,
in order to discover relevant details or identify their property,
in order to make a claim for restitution
or a claim under the Claims Conference’s Goodwill Fund,
and;
(2) what was the response to those enquiries from the Claims Conference.
Please send any information for consideration to:

Public Affairs Officer
