The International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims Outreach
The International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (ICHEIC) headed by former U.S. Secretary of State, Lawrence S. Eagleburger, worked with international insurance companies Allianz AG, AXA, Generali, Winterthur Leben, Zurich Financial Services, and their subsidiaries to initiate a process to resolve the unpaid insurance claims of Holocaust victims, survivors, their heirs and beneficiaries for life, education and dowry policies issued between 1920 and 1945.
The outreach program conducted by the Swiss Banks notice team involved 70 countries, utilizing paid advertising in mainstream and Jewish publications, press conferences and other earned media activities, work through Jewish religious, social and cultural organizations as well as the development of in-country outreach coordinators in the United States, Israel, Eastern and Western Europe, areas of the former Soviet Union and Latin America. Kinsella Media coordinated the project, executed international earned media and placed U.S. paid media.
