Did your family make money from slavery?

[d87francis]

I find it interesting that contemporary society finds purchasing people to labour for them abhorrent but has little qualms about renting peoples labour. We are still being exploited by the elite who profit from the surplus of our labour.

Not my family. The ancient egyptians had a saying "Slavery gets sh*t done", may be lost in translation..

My ancestors fled Germany to escape persecution, can someone set up a website so I can trace their house and be compensated by the current owners?

Good business model

There was a programme about a Jewish family who owned a considerable chain of shops

They successfully managed to prove the case to find out that a Jewish refugee organisation had already claimed and settled on their behalf some years before

They now have to claim back from this third party

Apparently millions have been paid to such organisations without the original owners even being aware
