The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center unveiled a new Internet site to help heirs of Holocaust victims or wartime refugees recover assets confiscated by the Nazis. As its first project, the new site carries detailed property records of some 50,000 Austrian Jews who were forced in 1938 to fill out questionnaires listing all insurance policies, stocks, real estate, annuities, bank accounts, business assets, foreign holdings, and even watches and tea sets. The site is located at www.LivingHeirs.com.
