Washington state’s insurance commissioner posted thousands of new policyholder records from the Holocaust era on the Internet to help Holocaust survivors and their heirs file claims on policies that European insurers refused to pay after World War II. Commissioner Deborah Senn said the new posting at www.insurance.wa.gov would supplement lists already posted by her office and other groups, including the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims. Earlier this year, her office posted Holocaust-era records from Poland and the Netherlands on its Web site.
