As a way of alleviating their struggle in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Holocaust survivors spread across the globe will soon receive an additional $664 million in funding from Germany.
The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, a non-profit organisation that offers 'a measure of justice' to the victims of the Jewish Holocaust, reported on Wednesday that the additional payments, which would be spread out over two years,
had been obtained through recent talks with the German government. The Claims Conference said that approximately 240,000 survivors would receive two payments each of $1,400 starting in December.
In Israel, North America, the former Soviet Union and Western Europe, most of those survivors live. Many survivors live in poverty, according to the Claims Conference, and as the coronavirus can seriously affect elderly people,
the pandemic has resulted in "an onslaught of health, emotional and financial obstacles."
