A Jewish group called on Canadian Holocaust survivors and their heirs to find out if they are entitled to restitution from European insurance companies. The Simon Wiesenthal Center asked Canadians to use an online registry because it may enable victims to access documents that will help them recover insurance and other assets confiscated by the Nazis. The registry, set up last fall, is located at http://www.livingheirs.com.
