The European Shoah Legacy Institute, which has been founded as a result of the Holocaust Era Assets Conference which took place in June 2009 in Prague and ended with the signature of the Terezin Declaration by 47 countries has now launched new internet pages
at www.shoahlegacy.org
The focus of the Institut as described on it's website is:
" to seek – in cooperation with governments, non-governmental organizations and independent experts – systemic solutions on an international level leading to restitution of immovable property, art, Judaica and Jewish cultural assets stolen by the Nazis; provision of adequate social welfare to Holocaust (Shoah) survivors and other victims of Nazism; and promotion of Holocaust education, research and remembrance.
The Institute serves both as a voluntary forum for exchange of views, sharing of experience, and articulation of needs and priorities. At the same time, it is a vehicle or a catalyst for the parties already active in this field, helping them to identify and develop best practices and guidelines of work.
The sphere of action of the Institute is international. It operates in affiliation with the European Union and with European countries inside and outside of the EU. The Institute also has a close working relationship with non-European states, particularly the United States and Israel."
