Holocaust Victims
To the Editor:
Re "G.t's Are Called Looters of
Jewish Riches" (front page, Oct.
15) :
The photograph showing a crate of
wedding bands seized by the Nazis is
riveting. Consider that each band in
the heap represents two human lives
standing under a wedding canopy,
smiling and imagining a future. The
rest is incidental. '
ANDREA SPUNGEN LANIADO
Albany, Oct. 16, 1999
•
To the Editor:
I very much resented the fact that
,simple wedding bands taken from
murdered Holocaust victims were
described as "Jewish riches" and
the "wealth of Hungarian Jews"
(front page, Oct. 15). The holy vows
and the martyred families that those
rings represent were the true riches
of these victims.

Title
A name given to the resource
Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States, formed in 1998, was charged with investigating what happened to the assets of victims of the Holocaust that ended up in the possession of the United States Federal government. The final report of the Commission, <a href="http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/pcha/PlunderRestitution.html/html/Home_Contents.html"> “Plunder and Restitution: Findings and Recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States and Staff Report"</a> was submitted to President Clinton in December 2000.</p>
<p>Chairman - Edgar Bronfman<br /> Executive Director - Kenneth Klothen</p>
<p>The collection consists of 19 series. The first fifteen series of the collection are composed mostly of photocopied federal records. These records were reproduced at the National Archives and Records Administration by commission members for their research. The records relate to Holocaust assets created between the mid 1930’s and early 1950’s by a variety of U. S. Government agencies and foreign sources.</p>
