Jewish property restitution

Jewish property restitution refers to the legal process of compensating or returning properties confiscated or stolen from Jewish individuals during the Holocaust and under oppressive regimes. After World War II, many governments and courts established laws to identify, evaluate, and restore or compensate for these properties, recognizing the injustices inflicted. Restitution aims to acknowledge victims' rights, restore their property or provide financial compensation, and promote justice and reconciliation. While the process varies by country, it remains an important part of addressing historical wrongs and preserving the memory of loss endured by Jewish communities.
