THE CLAIMS CONFERENCE
When the Claims Conference began receiving proceeds from the sales of unclaimed Jewish property that it recovered in the former East Germany, the Board of Directors made a decision to allocate up to 20 percent of the funds toward research, documentation, and education of the Shoah. The board made this decision out of a sense of obligation to preserve the memory of the six million killed, in order that the world does not forget both how they lived and how they died.
Through its contributions to leading institutions that have expertise in Holocaust research, education, and documentation, the Claims Conference also seeks to help ensure that future generations learn of the Holocaust. As the Shoah recedes from memory to history, it is crucial that future generations have available the records, photos, and other materials that institutions are still able to assemble today. It is also crucial that the history of the Holocaust is preserved and presented in a way that is meaningful and accessible to generations who will not be able to meet survivors firsthand.
An Educational Professional Advisory Committee and a Research and Documentation Professional Advisory Committee, comprising experts in their respective fields, review all applications for funding.
