Holocaust Victim's Unpaid Insurance Claims During World War II, many Jewish families in Europe purchased life insurance policies as financial protection for loved ones who would survive the war. However, Nazi Germany did not preserve insurance policy documents nor did they issue death certificates for Jews and countless untold others murdered in the concentration camps. As a result, many Holocaust victims and their heirs to this day have been unable to collect on the policies purchased over half a century ago. Several lawsuits have therefore been filed on behalf of Holocaust survivors to ensure they receive payment on their legitimate claims. The State of California's Department of Insurance has played a pivotal role in protecting the rights of Holocaust survivors and their heirs. California was instrumental in the establishment of the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (ICHEIC) and continues to participate in finding a solution to this issue through its membership on the ICHEICs executive board. The California Department of Insurance is one of three states representing the National Association of Insurance Commissioners on the Plenary Committee of this important international commission.
