Info
World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO)
EU Transparency Register
722911949222-91 First registered on 27 Feb 2023
Goals / Remit
WJRO is the legal and moral representative of world Jewry in pursuing claims for the recovery of Jewish properties in Europe (with the exception of Germany and Austria). WJRO consults and negotiates with national and local governments in Eastern and Central Europe for the return of Jewish communal property and heirless private property and the payment of full compensation in cases where restitution is not possible. WJRO works for the restitution of private property and for compensation to Holocaust survivors. (WJRO does not represent individuals.) Together with local Jewish communities, WJRO establishes local foundations to file restitution claims and use the proceeds to support survivors and local Jewish life.
Main EU files targeted
In October 2015, WJRO launched the European Alliance for Holocaust Survivors (EAHS), a coalition of Members of the European Parliament. The formation of this group, along with WJRO’s other initiatives in Europe, aim to build strong European voices supporting restitution and strengthen WJRO’s work in pursuit of restitution in individual countries.
