Introduction to the Holocaust Claims Processing Office-
For over 22 years New York State has been at the forefront of efforts to ensure a just resolution of unresolved claims for assets lost due to Nazi persecution. As you are undoubtedly aware, in the late 1990s, disputes over Holocaust-era dormant Swiss bank accounts and unpaid life insurance policies focused international attention on a myriad of issues concerning unresolved claims for assets lost during the Holocaust-era. During those early days, before settlements and claims processes, New York State recognized the need for an agency to assist individuals attempting to navigate the emotionally charged maze of Holocaust-era asset restitution and, as a result, established the Holocaust Claims Processing Office as a division of the then New York State Banking Department in June 1997.
On July 8, 1998, the New York State Legislature, in keeping with the State’s commitments to assist
Holocaust victims and their heirs, added Article 27, “Holocaust Victims Insurance Act of 1998” to the New York Insurance Law. This legislation required New York State insurers affiliated with
insurance companies that did business in areas under Nazi influence during the Holocaust-era to file annual reports and to resolve all unpaid insurance policies issued to Holocaust victims. Most importantly the act provides for assistance to Holocaust victims

"We can’t change what’s gone before us, only how we go forward," a Barclays spokesman said.
