Germany to pay $1.4 billion to Holocaust survivors in 2022.

Germany will pay over $1.4 billion in 2024 to Holocaust survivors, with nearly $890 million going towards home care services. The payments are part of the annual negotiations between Germany's Federal Ministry of Finance and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. The funds are meant to help survivors live in dignity, decades after they were persecuted and lost loved ones and property. The money includes direct payments and hardship funds, and the compensation payment slated for 2024 eclipses the more than $1.2 billion Germany agreed to pay in 2023.

Germany pledges $1.4 billion for global Holocaust survivor support.

Germany has agreed to extend $1.4 billion in compensation for Holocaust survivors globally in 2024, negotiated with the Claims Conference. The compensation includes $888.9 million for home care and supportive services for frail and vulnerable survivors, and $175 million for symbolic payments of the Hardship Fund Supplemental program. The survivors receiving these payments largely are Russian Jews who weren't in camps or ghettos and aren't eligible for pension programs. The German government has paid more than $90 billion to individuals for suffering and losses resulting from persecution by the Nazis since 1952.

Survivors and Communities Commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day

Three brothers who escaped Budapest during the Nazi invasion in 1944 have shared their story of survival on Holocaust Remembrance Day as part of the Claims Conference's new digital campaign, "Our Holocaust Story: A Pledge to Remember." The brothers moved between safe houses and secret locations until liberation, and their mother's decision to stay with her children saved their lives. Their story is part of a campaign that includes 100 survivors sharing their personal testimony of persecution to keep their stories alive for future generations to learn from past atrocities.
