Curator's Comment
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund provided financial compensation to 9/11 victims’ relatives and injured survivors. Family members were given the opportunity to write to and meet with the Special Master, Kenneth Feinberg, who administered the Fund. Ninety-seven percent of victims’ families participated in the Fund, thereby waiving their right to pursue lawsuits against the airlines.
