The Holocaust Survivor Assistance Project (HSAP), headed locally by year law students Jeff Neiman and Josh Corn, is part of nationwide efforts to help survivors receive compensation for forced and slave labor performed on behalf of Nazi Germany during World War II. The money is coming from a multi-billion dollar fund established by the German government and companies who unjustly benefited from the labor. " More than 50 years after conclusion of World War II, " Neiman said, " Holocaust survivors finally are being compensated for labor performed in German-occupied territories during the war.
