Individual and economic freedom and confronting the totalitarian past
We have successfully lobbied in favor of full restitution process. We are especially proud of taking part in public pressure and successful passing the 2016 compensation law for heirless confiscated Jewish property, the first such law envisaged by the Terezín Declaration of 46 states in 2009. We are offering basic info on research results or links on fully accessible journal articles. Documents on the returned property of Belgrade Jews through the restitution process are also available.
