Betraying the Trust: Israel, Europe and Restitution after the Holocaust

This book describes and analyzes the full scope of Holocaust restitution, starting in 1943 before the end of WWII, and ending in 2023. Thematically, it covers what was attempted and what was achieved in all main areas of Holocaust restitution during this period. It is the first updated estimate of what is at stake in Holocaust restitution, and it defines the time boundaries of the time-waves in Holocaust restitution and their aftermath. All this, done with a host of previously unpublished primary sources, interviews, and with the help of accurate methodology, enabled critical examination, and offers ground-breaking proposals for redress.
