About this Program

The right thing to do is the only thing to do.

An estimated 12,500 Holocaust survivors and their families in Florida are being assessed an international wire transfer fee, ranging from $10 to $40 a transaction. This transfer fee amounts to a 10 percent tax on each payment the survivor receives, and is a significant financial burden considering that vast majority are elderly and rely on these payments. I am partnering with several financial institutions in Florida to waive the wire transfer fee on reparation payments.

I encourage you to explore this site's features which include a list of participating financial institutions in Florida, additional information and contact numbers regarding Holocaust insurance claims, a generic fee waiver form for financial institutions, as well as the Insurance Claims Legislation and the Holocaust Victims Insurance Act.

While nothing we do can ever fully repay those who suffered through this atrocity, anything we can do to keep money in their pockets is helpful.

What else can we do to help? Please let us know. You can reach us by phone: 1-877-MY-FL-CFO (1-877-693-5236) or via email.

If you are a Holocaust Survivor and your bank is not participating in the program, please contact us and we will reach out to your financial institution on your behalf.
