Dov Shafrir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dov Shafrir was Israel's first Custodian of Absentees' Property, tasked with cataloguing and redistributing to Jewish residents or immigrants the property of the 700,000 or so Palestinians who had fled or been expelled from their homes in 1948, before and after the state of Israel declared its independence on 14 May that year.[1]
