The Stichting Individuele Verzekeringsaanspraken Sjoa (Shoah Foundation for Individual Insurance Claims) pays out life insurance policies of people who were persecuted as Jews in the Netherlands during the Second World War to the rightful claimants.
On this website you will find a list of names with approximately 2,500 insured of life insurance policies that have probably not been paid out to the beneficiaries.
Are you possibly an heir of a person on this list? You can submit a request for research here. We will then check whether the policy is indeed still payable and whether you are entitled to a payment.
Stichting Sjoa was established in 1999 by the Dutch Association of Insurers (Verbond van Verzekeraars) and the Central Jewish Conference (Centraal Joods Overleg). We process policies taken out with (predecessors of) Dutch insurers that are members of the Dutch Association of Insurers.
