Episode 113 – Helping Holocaust Survivors

About this episode

The episode discusses Latham's efforts in helping Holocaust survivors secure reparations and features personal stories from survivors and their families.

Over two decades, more than 350 Latham lawyers have taken on Holocaust reparations matters, helping Holocaust survivors apply for pensions for work performed in Nazi-controlled ghettos during World War II. In this episode of Connected With Latham , Laura Atkinson-Hope , Public Service Counsel and Director of Global Pro Bono at Latham, sits down with Anna Bravo, Attorney Support Manager and longtime leader of the firm's Holocaust reparations program, and Isabelle Sarfati, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor client. Together, they reflect on the completion of Latham's final reparations case in 2025, the challenges survivors faced in documenting their experiences, and how Isabelle's curiosity and research about her father's experience in the Warsaw Ghetto ultimately led to a successful outcome for her family.
