Are Any of These Names on Your Family Tree?
Unclaimed (Private) Jewish Property in Poland Courtesy of Rita Margolis According to a story in the Jerusalem Post on December 16, 1997, considerable privately owned Polish real estate belongs to heirs of Jews who perished in the Holocaust. There is danger, however, that property may be expropriated if claims are not made soon. Margalit Rosenbuch, a Tel Aviv lawyer established Poldoor, an organization whose purpose it is to help those with a claim. Land values are booming in Poland these days and many properties are worth
$ 400,000 to $ 500,000. Rosenbuch says that "All the heirs have to do is to have the Polish court issue a write of inheritance, just as in any other country." According to Polish statistics, about "40 percent of the real estate in Cracow and 60 percent in Lodz is still registered to people who have not come forward. Based on the names, many are Jews." Attorneys who help claimants are in private practice and charge fees for their services. According to the article, it costs a minimum of a few hundred dollars to make an initial inquiry into the status of a property and a good deal more to complete the procedures to reclaim it. The amount depends on the value of the property, the complexity of the case, and the individual's agreement with his or her attorney. Attorney's listed in the article are:
