Germany To Aid More
Holocaust Survivors

(JTA) — Germany has agreed to
provide restitution payments to an
additional 80,000 Jews in what Claims
Conference officials are describing as a
historic breakthrough.
The agreement, which was reached
July 9 in negotiations between German
officials and Claims Conference rep-
resentatives, is likely to result in addi-
tional payments of approximately $300
million.
Most of the funds will go to Nazi
victims in the former Soviet Union
who have never before qualified for
pensions or payments from German
restitution money.
The bulk of the money will come
from the Hardship Fund, which grants
one-time payouts of 2,556 euros —
approximately $3,150 — to Jews who
fled the Nazis as they swept eastward
through Europe. Until now, those pay-
ments were not available to Jews in
Ukraine, Russia and other non-Europe-
an Union countries in Eastern Europe.
Applications for the fund will be
available starting Nov. 1.
