The "Generali Fund in Memory of Clients Insured by Generali Who Died in the Holocaust" approved payments of over $1.5 million in the month of November. The money was paid out for 107 claims of relatives of people who took out insurance policies in central and eastern Europe before the Holocaust. The largest claim, almost $70,000, was paid to a Swiss Jew whose father, a member of one of the more respected Jewish families in Prague, took out a policy in Czechoslovakia. The family lost all its property, including many buildings, during the war, and the entire family was expelled to death camps including Auschwitz and Theresienstadt. The claimant is the only living beneficiary of the policy. One-third of the claims paid out in November were to people living in Israel, and almost that many to residents of eastern Europe. More than a quarter of those insured died well after the Holocaust.
