How to apply

There are two (2) documents that must be sent in as part of the initial application process:

      1. The application to UDSKiOR
        This application can be found on the Web site of the World Restitution Organization (WJRO) here.
        An annotated guide is available here.
      2. The request for the Auschwitz Jewish Center to serve as proxy
        This document authorizes the Auschwitz Jewish Center to serve as the proxy, or representative, for the applicant. Since UDSKiOR, by law, cannot send any correspondence outside of Poland, the office will send all correspondence to the applicant to the AJC, based in Oświęcim, Poland. The AJC, in turn, will forward this correspondence abroad so it gets back to the applicant. This form, too, can be found on the WJRO Website here.
