Provenance:
- A full description of the records sources and methodologies used to create this searchable listing can be found at http://www.icheic.org/pdf/Research%20Report-0404.pdf.
- "ICHEIC [International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (1300 L Street, N.W., Suite 1150, Washington, D.C. 20002)] made this list available on its website (www.icheic.org) during its claims filing period, as one mechanism to encourage potential claimants to file a claim. (ICHEIC however regularly encouraged any and all individuals who thought they might have a claim to complete a claim form and file it with ICHEIC, regardless of whether they found a relevant name on the policyholder list.) ICHEICs claims deadline of December 31, 2003 has passed and as of March 31, 2004 ICHEIC is not accepting new claims. ICHEIC has provided this list for publication on www.pheip.org solely for researchers historical interest. ICHEIC already has incorporated into its own internal research work all information provided by this list for the purpose of matching information with that provided by claimants. ICHEIC compiled this list from records provided by insurance companies, insurance associations, various public archives and other sources. Names found here are those of individuals most likely to have had a life insurance policy of any kind (including education, dowry, endowment or pension/annuity policies) during the relevant period (1920-1945) and who are thought likely to have suffered any form of racial, religious or political persecution during the Holocaust. The fact that a name appears on the list does not guarantee that the individual named or his or her heirs or beneficiaries would have qualified for payment under ICHEICs guidelines had they filed a claim during the ICHEIC claims filing period. There may be instances where policies were issued to individuals with common names that multiple researchers might mistake as the individual listed in their inquiry. Additionally, an insurance company's investigation of a claim (where a claimant found a name on the website and filed a claim with ICHEIC during the claims filing period) may reveal that the claim was previously completely settled or paid, which would preclude further consideration of the claim under ICHEIC guidelines. The ICHEIC potential policyholder list does not contain any further information about the individual(s) listed in your inquiry beyond the results displayed on this site. ICHEIC is no longer able to accept new claims as its filing deadline has passed."--http://www.pheip.org.
