Holocaust survivors, and their children and grandchildren, strongly support legislation to hold insurance companies accountable for the policies they sold to European Jews who became victims of the Holocaust [National, “Bitter Holocaust Battle Plays Out on Capitol Hill,” July 23, 2008].
The Sun’s story quotes others as saying that the bill is being driven by the financial motives of our attorney, Sam Dubbin. Aside from the fact that Mr. Dubbin has represented us for years at our behest with almost no compensation, you imply that survivors are incapable of making decisions for ourselves. These companies collected premiums from our parents and grandparents and then, after WWII, demanded death certificates and other documents none of us could possibly have after Auschwitz. We are entitled to the truth, and we are entitled to recover the money they looted from our families. Anyone else would demand the same.
