Although the title is clearly fantastical, I post this because I never knew this was an issue and (allowing for by relative ignorance on the subject) agree with the protesters that something needs to be done:
Aging survivors of the Nazi Holocaust plan to protest outside a political fundraiser featuring President Barack Obama this week to publicize their struggle to collect what they say is $20 billion in Jewish insurance policies never paid by European companies.
The bill has been introduced in past years in the House. In 2010, Jewish organizations including the Anti-Defamation League and B'nai B'rith International said it might "raise unreasonable hopes and set up false expectations" among survivors with war-era insurance policies. And, they said, it could jeopardize negotiations with the German government for money for home health care or other services.
Since the 1950s several organizations have been created to deal with insurance and other claims by Holocaust survivors and their families, including the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims. That organization offered or awarded some $306 million to 48,000 claimants from 1998 to 2007 - a sum many survivors say is woefully inadequate.
