"Holocaust Restitution compiles a group of essays from leading
authorities and participants in the Holocaust restitution movement.
This book gathers different voices from across the Holocaust
restitution movement and does an ex post facto review of the
litigation. Holocaust Restitution presents an up-to-date analysis
of the Holocaust restitution movement and presents the drama of
Holocaust restitution from the perspective of almost all the major
players, including plaintiff counsel, defense counsel, judges,
diplomats, administrators, corporate defendants, and Jewish
representatives. It also includes outside viewpoints from respected
commentators, including historians, academics, and Holocaust
survivors. It is remarkably comprehensive, does not shy away from
controversy, and thoughtfully reflects on the Holocaust and its
implications for future international human rights
adjudication."

--"Stanford Journal of International Law"
"Bazyler and Alford have produced an essential tool for
understanding the righteous struggle to win restitution for
Holocaust victims and their heirs."
--Richard Z. Chesnoff, author of "Pack of Thieves: How Hitler &
Europe Plundered the Jews & Committed The Greatest Theft In
History"
"This excellent volume makes a significant contribution both to
legal studies and to the history of the Holocaust. The editors
deserve special praise for including chapters by Holocaust
survivors, assuring that their often-forgotten voices are not lost
within the great debate about Holocaust restitution."
--Marilyn J. Harran, Stern Chair in Holocaust History, Chapman
University
"An invaluable text for students and scholars as well as a
fascinating read for all those concerned with Holocaust and
genocide issues in all disciplines and on behalf of all
victims."
--Israel W. Charny, President, International Association of
Genocide Scholars
"This unique collection is important in bringing together the
perspectives of legal practitioners, activists, archivists and
historians, negotiators, and survivors. It is remarkably
comprehensive. . . . The editors have not shied away from
controversy."
--David Cesarani, Research Professor in History, Royal Holloway,
University of London
"If there is a 'final frontier' in understanding the Holocaust,
it is the assessment of international litigation, compensation, and
reparations claims. This extraordinary group ofcontributions
thoughtfully reflects on the Holocaust, past and present, as well
as what many would call 'imperfect justice.'"
--Stephen Feinstein, Professor of History and Director, Center for
Holocaust and Genocide Studies, University of Minnesota
"This collection of essays on Holocaust restitution litigation
provides a wonderful overview of the subject. Bazyler and Alford
have assembled the 'A list' and the result is a most authoritative
and complete treatment."
--Professor William A. Schabas, Director, Irish Centre for Human
Rights
Holocaust Restitution is the first volume to present the
Holocaust restitution movement directly from the viewpoints of the
various parties involved in the campaigns and settlements. Now that
the Holocaust restitution claims are closed, this work enjoys the
benefits of hindsight to provide a definitive assessment of the
movement.
From lawyers and state department officials to survivors and
heads of key institutes involved in the negotiations, the volume
brings together the central players in the Holocaust restitution
movement, both pro and con. The volume examines the claims against
European banks and against Germany and Austria relating to forced
labor, insurance claims, and looted art claims. It considers their
significance, their legacy, and the moral issues involved in
seeking and receiving restitution.
