MyHeritage discovers heirs for unclaimed assets confiscated during World War II

I thought I would pass on a link to this amazing article about the efforts of MyHeritage.com and its CEO Gilad Japhet concerning the compensation for Jewish-owned German property that had been confiscated by the Nazis during World War II.
