The World Jewish Congress and the Claims Conference have claimed - and obtained - hundreds of millions of dollars "in the name of the Jewish victims" of the holocaust from Swiss banks, German companies and the German government.
Our potentially explosive investigation follows 3 separate cases, refugees from WWII and children of the victims of the Shoah, who have been prevented from claiming their heritage because of the actions of the Claims Conference. In whose name are they acting? Can financial compensation bring closure to the sufferings caused by the traumatic events of history?
