Holocaust
survivors share stories of stolen property in new campaign
U novoj kampanji se pozivaju Holokaust preživjeli da
govore o svojoj ukradenoj imovini
During the Holocaust, millions of Jews throughout Europe were robbed by the Nazis of every possession they ever had – from their homes and businesses, to jewelry and paintings. Each item represented a cherished memory, a loved one, a childhood cut short, a lifetime of labor – generations of history – people’s lives that were taken.
U toku Holokausta su nacisti opljačkali milijune Židova u Europi, uzeli su im svu imovinu koju su ikada imali - od njihovih domova i poslova do dragocjenosti i slika. Svaki slučaj prestavlja bolno sjećanje na one koje su voljeli, djetinjstvo koje im je uskraćeno, život na radu- to je povijest jedne generacije koja još živi i treba je upoznati.
Ove godine 75 godina nakon Holokausta Svjetska organizacija za restituciju World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO), organizacija koja vodi brigu o restituciji židovske imovine u Europi. već se drugu godinu nalazi u kampanji u medijima za " My property stoory"- priču o mojoj imovini.

Last year, tens of thousands of people from around the world participated in the #MyPropertyStory campaign. People engaged through social media in response to stories of lives that were forever changed by the Holocaust – stories that showed how their homes, land, businesses, and personal possessions were powerful links to their pasts.
“Following the success of last year’s #MyPropertyStory social media campaign, we are honored to launch an expanded version this year, focused on the children and grandchildren of the survivors who lost so much,” said Gideon Taylor, Chair of Operations, World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO), emphasizing how their stories will be powerful additions to the campaign.
“This campaign offers a unique opportunity for people to share and connect with one another – focusing on how the injustices of lives that were forever changed by the Holocaust have affected Jewish families across generations.”
As the groundbreaking Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today (JUST) Act report recently released by the US State Department makes clear, many European countries have not met their commitments on Holocaust era property restitution. The #MyPropertyStory campaign will help elevate the issue so that Holocaust survivors can seek a measure of justice during their lifetime.
“I will continue to prioritize this effort,” declared US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the report.
The report was issued to Congress by the State Department as required by the JUST Act, passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Trump in May 2018.
