Miami Firms Honored For Action in Support of Holocaust Survivors
Thursday, April 23, 2009
- Organization: Put Something Back Pro Bono Project, Dade County Legal Aid
In October, 2007 the German Chancellor announced the creation of the GGWPP (German Ghetto Work Payment Program) to offer payment of $3,000.00 to the approximate 60,000 Holocaust Survivors who worked in German controlled ghettos during WWI. This one time payment has made a substantial difference in the lives of survivors, many who are forced to live below the poverty level. We are fortunate that Baker & McKenzie and Weil, Gotshal & Manges accepted the position to coordinate the clinics in South Florida. We are especially fortunate because most cities do not have attorneys providing free legal services to Holocaust Survivors for their reparations needs.
Today we are recognizing the following firms for their deep dedication to the GGWPP:
Akerman Senterfitt
Baker & McKenzie, LLP
Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod, LLP
Duane Morris, LLP
Foley & Lardner, LLP
Greenberg Traurig, PA
McDermott Will & Emery, LLP
Morgan Lewis & Bockius, LLP
Richman Greer, P.A.
Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson, PA
Stroock Stroock & Lavan, LLP
Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP
