Since 1997 the Holocaust Claims Processing Office (HCPO) has advocated on behalf of Holocaust victims and their heirs, seeking the just and orderly return of assets to their original owners. In fulfilling this mission, as of December 31, 2020, the HCPO has facilitated the restitution of over $181 million in bank accounts, insurance policies, and other material losses and the resolution of cases involving more than 179 works of art.The HCPO works as a bridge between claimants and the various international compensation organizations and/or the current holder(s) of the asset be it a bank account, insurance policy or artwork. Claimants pay no fee for the HCPO’s services, nor does the HCPO take a percentage of the value of the assets recovered. Our goal is to advocate for claimants by helping to alleviate any cost and bureaucratic hardships they might encounter in trying to pursue claims on their own.We provide institutional assistance to individuals seeking to recover:Assets deposited in banks.Monies that insurance companies failed to pay policy beneficiaries.Artwork that was lost, stolen, or sold under duress between 1933 and 1945.
