60 Years of Material Restitution:  History and Challenges

1/25/2013

Comments

 
Picture
In commemoration of the United Nations' Holocaust Remembrance Day, B’nai B’rith International held a discussion titled “60 Years of Material Restitution: History and Challenges,” in New York City on January 25.

One of the leading experts in the field of material restitution, Arie Bucheister, chief of staff at the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, explained the daunting challenges facing survivors and their heirs to have property returned or material compensation made to them. 

“The crimes of Nazi murderers and robbers resulted in countries profiting from Jewish victims,” Bucheister said.

While Germany has “far reaching compensation and restitution laws,” Bucheister says many other countries are without such legislation. Poland has no compensation laws, and a number of countries, such as Croatia, Romania, Serbia and Lithuania have enacted various restitution laws for victims with mixed degrees of effectiveness. It can be especially challenging in the former Soviet bloc countries where much of the property that was confiscated is now nationalized, he said.

“Despite being more than a half-century removed from the horrors of the Holocaust, it remains ever-important that B’nai B’rith and other Jewish groups press on in our fight for some minimal justice to be made to survivors and their families,” B’nai B’rith International President Allan J. Jacobs said from New York where he addressed the program. “Programs like this open eyes to the uphill battle we continue to face.”

Bucheister, born in Israel and a child of two survivors, has been a principal negotiator for the conference for many years. He says one of the conference’s main functions is negotiating for heirless property that’s been sold. Whatever is returned—whether it be monetary or physical property—goes toward communal and social welfare needs.

“Each year we have a program on International Holocaust Remembrance Day and every year it’s another chilling reminder of the atrocities committed against the Jewish people--atrocities against humanity,” B’nai B’rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin, who addressed the program, said. “Recounting these crimes reminds us, once again, that we all must bear witness.”

This program preceded the official U.N. Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony, which B’nai B’rith representatives also attended. B’nai B’rith played an active role in the United Nations’ adoption of Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2005.

B'nai B'rith Omaha Breadbreakers Luncheon

University of Nebraska at Omaha
The B'nai B'rith Omaha Breadbreakers Luncheon series on January 16 welcomed University of Nebraska at Omaha Political Science Professor Dick Fellman for a discussion on “Hagel: Yes or No?” 

Shortly, the nomination hearings will begin to determine if former U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) will be the next Secretary of Defense for the U.S. government.  The meeting at the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home Auditorium provided an opportunity for B'nai B'rith members to learn about the nominee from a former state senator, Douglas County Commissioner, and a candidate for Congress.
 
A kosher meal was served to attendees.

Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief - New York Cares

1/13/2013

Comments

 
The B'nai B'rith Young Professionals Network in New York City continued to support those effected by Hurricane Sandy on January 13, 2013 by partnering with New York Cares for a day of action in the Rockaways.

B'nai B'rith provided transportation to and from the site - allowing volunteers to spend the day helping to get homeowners ready to rebuild by mucking out some of the hundreds of buildings damaged in Hurricane Sandy. Participants removed sand and debris; discarded water-damaged furniture, appliances, and other household items; and tore out moldy drywall, insulation, and flooring.

New York Cares makes safety a top priority, so all volunteers were given protective gear and were provided safety instructions  by project leaders.

This program came to life during a B'nai B'rith "Shabbat Dinner for a Cause" in November.  But B'nai B'rith's Sandy relief does not stop here.

We will be holding our annual fundraiser and silent auction to benefit the B'nai B'rith Disaster Relief Fund during the third week of February.  We're currently finalizing details of the date and location, which we will also be provided after the New Year. 

Be on the lookout for more information in the coming weeks!
