Jewish Restitution Successor Organization
The Jewish Restitution Successor Organization Inc. (JRSO, also IRSO; German: Jewish Restitution Successor Organization ), based in New York , was founded in 1948 by various American and international Jewish organizations.
Their aim was to restitute the heirless property of private individuals as well as the property of institutions and organizations that were racially persecuted and expropriated as "Jewish" and later murdered or dissolved in restitution proceedings in the American zone of occupation and in the American sector in Berlin had been. The JRSO distributed the assets acquired in this way to Jewish institutions and organizations, primarily in the USA and Israel.
The parallel organizations in the British and French zones of Germany and in the corresponding zones of Berlin were the Jewish Trust Corporation Ltd. ( JTC ) and the Jewish Trust Corporation Branche Française ( JTC BF ).
Later the tasks of the JRSO (and the JTC and JTC BF) were taken over by the Jewish Claims Conference .
