From the DW:
“Germany to make additional
payments to Holocaust survivors “
Hundreds of extra euros per month
will go to about 5,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel. More than 200,000
Holocaust survivors are still living in the country. Germany will make extra
payments to Holocaust survivors, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
announced on Thursday. "The German government has just informed us that
they will be giving a supplement to thousands of Holocaust survivors: Hundreds
of euros per month. This is important. These people deserve it. I thank the
German government," Netanyahu said on Twitter. Netanyahu said money would
be in addition to funds already provided by the Israeli government. The German
Finance Ministry told the DPA news agency that more than 5,000 people would
receive the supplemental payments. An estimated 212,300 Holocaust survivors
still live in Israel, according to the country's statistics agency. Some six
million Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps or were killed by German
mobile commando units and disease during World War II.
^ This is much needed for the survivors
since many are struggling because of what the Germans put them and through
families through. ^
