European Shoah Legacy Institute

The European Shoah Legacy Institute (ESLI) was a public-benefit corporation based in Prague, in the Czech Republic[1] whose purpose was to oversee the return of Jewish art and property seized by the Nazis during The Holocaust.[2][3][4]

At the end of August 2017, with the assistance of the Israeli Ministry of Social Equality, the European Shoah Legacy Institute closed.[5] A statement on their website reads, "While the work of ESLI has concluded, the Holocaust agenda continues, including above all improving the care of Holocaust survivors and other victims of Nazi persecution, deepening Holocaust education and remembrance as stated in the Terezin Declaration.[6]
