Germany To Pay
Holocaust Survivors

New York (JTA) — The
German government and the
Conference on Jewish Mate-
rial Claims Against Ger-
many recently signed a
historic agreement that re-
quires Germany to pay
reparations to those Holo-
caust survivors who were,
until now, unable to receive
those funds.
Thousands of victims of
Nazism who lived after the
war in the former Soviet
Union and Eastern Europe
never received indemnifica-
tion because they were
unable to file applications by
the 1965 deadline stipulated
in the 1952 reparations
agreement, said Rabbi Israel
Miller, president of the
Claims Conference.
Some 90,000 of those East-
ern Europeans who made it
to the West after that
deadline received small one-
time payments, amounting
to about 5 marks for each
day they were confined.
"Now that their govern-
ments are free, they are free
to request what others have
received in terms of compen-

New Monument
At Yad Vashem

bub

Jerusalem (JTA) — For 10
years, architects, historians
and builders have toiled to
create a Holocaust monu-
ment that would both com-
memorate the dead and
educate the living.
The Yad Vashem
memorial and museum will
inaugurate the result of
their labor: the Valley of the
Destroyed Communities.
Situated in a rocky wooded
area on Yad Vashem's
Mount of Remembrance, the
huge monument com-
memorates the Jewish corn-
munities of Europe and Nor-
th Africa destroyed or
damaged by the Nazis.

sation," Rabbi Miller ex-
plained.
The new accord, signed the
last week of October, pro-
vides for an additional one-
time payment, as well as
continuing hardship
payments to Jews imprison-
ed by the Nazis in concentra-
tion camps or ghettos or who
lived in hiding, Rabbi Miller
said.
The payments will be
made to those held more
than six months in concen-
tration camps, in ghettos for
at least 18 months and those
who lived in hiding for at
least 18 months.
The new accord will also
place at the disposal of the
Claims Conference 30 mill-
ion marks (approximately
$19 million) for grants to in-
stitutions and organizations
that provide social care to
elderly Jewish Nazi victims.
The new agreement
follows "extensive and
difficult" negotiations that
began 16 months ago in
Bonn at a meeting between
Rabbi Miller and German
Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

"Some 20,000 Jewish
communities in Europe
alone were destroyed
alongside the 6 million,” ex-
plained Yitzhak Arad,
chairman of Yad Vashem.

"This valley will corn-
memorate all the com-
munities in which at least
100 Jews celebrated Jewish
life, religion and culture.
The valley symbolizes a lost

world that has been buried
forever, leaving only ruins
in place of their greatness,"
he said.
Built out of giant blocks of
Jerusalem stone 20 feet tall,
the 4-acre site is overwhelm-
ing in its size and scope, yet
somehow familiar.
Viewed from above, the
monument resembles the
map of pre- World War II
Europe. On ground level, the
towering walls form a series
of courtyards, one for each
country in which Jews were
persecuted.
Just a few steps into the
labyrinthine structure, the
visitor is drawn into a stark
world of stone and rock, with
just a touch of greenery 20
feet above. The eye is im-
mediately drawn to the
walls, etched in Hebrew and
English with the names of
5,000 devastated com-
munities.
Every wall bears the name
of the largest Jewish com-
munity in that region, with
smaller communities
written on the side.
