On Wednesday, September 27th 2023, the final research report titled Unfinished Past -Deprivation and Restoration of Rights of Jewish Residents in the Municipalities of Maastricht, Amby, and Heer’ was presented at the synagogue in Maastricht, stemming from an investigation commissioned by the municipality of Maastricht.
This investigation and subsequent report delves into the municipality’s role in the expropriation of Jewish property during the Second World War and the post war restoration of their property rights. The research was conducted by an independent team consisting of Marjolein Vlieks, Head of the Reparations Database at the Nuhanovic Foundation, René van Rijsselt, a senior lecturer and researcher at the Department of Management and Organisational Science at Utrecht University, and Erik van Rijsselt, a retired police sergeant in Maastricht with specialisation in local historical archival research pertaining to the Maastricht municipal police and their interactions with the Jewish residents.
