    They seem to have made another try in 2004:

    JWHESF owes much to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and related branch offices and organizations for their willing support. Watch Tower has generously donated personnel, office and network space , and office equipment and has been instrumental in facilitating JWHESF's outreach efforts to the worldwide community of Jehovah's Witnesses. Using its established relationship with financial institutions and government agencies, Watch Tower has also assisted JWHESF to obtain favorable banking arrangements and official permission to distribute humanitarian aid in HSP countries.

    There was an announcement in the German km 5/2001:

    "The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses has founded an institution legally registered in the USA called "Jehovah’s Witness Holocaust-Era Survivors Fund, Inc. („JWHESF“). This will support NS-vitims with the expected payments of compensation for forced labor even if then they were not already Jehovah's Witnesses. A communication to all bodies of elders in Germany contains further information."

    *** km 5/01 S. 7 Bekanntmachungen ***

    Die leitende Körperschaft der Zeugen Jehovas hat eine in den Vereinigten Staaten gesetzlich eingetragene Einrichtung mit der Bezeichnung Jehovah’s Witness Holocaust-Era Survivors Fund, Inc. („JWHESF“, NS-Opferfonds Jehovas Zeugen) gegründet. Diese wird NS-Opfer bei den zu erwartenden Entschädigungszahlungen für Zwangsarbeit unterstützen, auch wenn sie damals noch keine Zeugen Jehovas waren. Ein Rundschreiben an alle Ältestenschaften in Deutschland enthält weitere Informationen.

    I see the Holocaust industry is beneficial to both Jew and JW alike.

    Please folks, anyone here who knows how to contact the fund administrator(s), send the information to them; to show what the WT really is.
    It's simply unbelievable the WT is trying to collect money.
