CLAIMS CONFERENCE

(The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany)

The London Jewish Cultural Centre works closely with the Claims Conference
which has provided vital financial support for the China Seminars Programme and
continues to do so.

The mission of the Claims Conference over its nearly 60-year history has always
been to secure what we consider a small measure of justice for Jewish victims of
Nazi persecution. They have pursued this goal since 1951 through a combination
of negotiations, disbursing funds to individuals and organizations, and seeking the return of Jewish property lost during the Holocaust.

Through its contributions to leading institutions that have expertise in Holocaust, research, education, and documentation, such as LJCC Holocaust and Anti-Racism Education Department , the Claims Conference also seeks to help ensure that future generations learn of the Holocaust.
