Much of Jerusalem's Pisgat Ze'ev built on land owned by Holocaust victims, study says

Company for Location and Restitution of Holocaust Victims' Assets says lands in northern Jerusalem neighborhood, now worth tens of millions of shekels, purchased before World War II by European Jews.

Kompanija za lokaciju i restituciju osobama koje su preživjele Holokaust  izjavila  je da zemlja u području sjevernog Jeruzalema, koja sada vrijedi desetke milijuna šekela, je kupljena prije II. svjetskog rata od strane evropskih Židova. ..

The lands, now worth tens of millions of shekels, were purchased before World War II by European Jews - mainly in Latvia and Estonia, but also in Romania and Belgium.

Samo je nekoliko njih preživjelo , većina nema živih nasljednika.

Company officials recently discovered documents in the Central Zionist Archive relating to the land purchase. 

In the 1930s a group of Zionists encouraged the purchase of lots adjacent to the Palestinian village of Hizmeh, with the intention of establishing a community called Havatzelet Binyamin...

The heirs of three of the owners sued for and received compensation several years ago, but the Company for Location and Restitution of Holocaust Victims' Assets has now identified dozens of landowners, all deceased.

The company found the living heirs of N.M, a Belgian Jew who was sent to Auschwitz in April 1943...He immigrated to Israel, and his heirs have already received notice that they will receive compensation for the lands......

Kompanija želi istražiti više nasljednika, ali u slučaju da se nitko ne nađe, zakon nalaže da se plaćanje kompenzacije upotrijebi za pomoć Holokaust preživjelima i za edukacijske projekte koji su vezani za Holokaust.
