What problem does it solve? Israelis descended from Europeans who fled, were expelled, or lost citizenship may qualify for an EU passport, but the rules differ by country, change often, and turn on small lineage and document details. This Skill triages which routes are open, matches a family story to the right legal basis, and builds the Israeli-side document chain (population-registry extract, apostille, certified translation) without paying an agency. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Route triage with status tracking: Covers German and Austrian Nazi-era restitution routes (Art. 116(2), §15, §5 StAG, §58c), descent routes for Italy, Poland, Romania, and Hungary, smaller routes (Czechia, Latvia, Greece, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Slovakia), and closed routes (Portugal, Spain, Cyprus), each with an Open/Restricted/Closed status and verification date. - Structured intake worksheet: The scripts/eligibility_intake.py script generates an ancestry-and-documents worksheet capturing the anchor ancestor, persecution or emigration dates, 1933-1945 residence, and surviving records. - Israeli document pipeline guidance: Walks through the population-registry extract, the correct apostille authority per document type, notarial translation, and name-transliteration variant handling. - Use Case: A user says their grandfather fled Germany in 1938. The Skill maps the ancestry, confirms the German restitution route is open with no language or residency requirement, and produces a step-by-step filing roadmap from Israel. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check whether you qualify for a European passport based on your grandparent's country of origin and build the document checklist for filing from Israel.
