HOLOCAUST-ERA SWISS BANK CLAIMS
A new list is now available of Swiss bank account holders who were probably or
possibly victims of Nazi persecution. The list, resulting from further negotiations
with Swiss banks, is part of the claims process under the Settlement of the
Holocaust Victim Assets class action litigation in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York, Chief Judge Edward R. Korman presiding. To
date, the Court has authorized repayment of more than $220 million from the
Settlement Fund to bank account owners or their heirs.
The new list of Swiss bank account holders is on the website of the Claims
Resolution Tribunal,www.crt-ii.org . Applications are also available on this
website. Please call the telephone number below if you are unable to view this
