The New York Jewish Week of March 28 carried an article about how Project HEART, “the Israeli government’s ambitious Holocaust-era restitution project” is “in danger of ending or being seriously diminished.”
One indication of that, the article by Stewart Ain reports, has been that “the project’s office in Milwaukee, Wis., was forced to cease operations Jan. 1” because of “a budget shortfall.”
That office was located in the Milwaukee direct marketing company A. B. Data. According to the Jewish Week article, this office “has processed the nearly 200,000 claim forms that survivors and heirs have filed” since the project began in February 2011. (See Chronicle April 2011.)
