The morning light illuminates the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, or the Holocaust Memorial, in Berlin, Germany, June 15, 2023. The organization that handles claims on behalf of Jews who suffered under the Nazis said Thursday that Germany has agreed to extend another US$1.4 billion overall for Holocaust survivors around the globe for the coming year.
"Every year these negotiations become more and more critical as this last generation of Holocaust survivors age and their needs increase," said Greg Schneider, the Claims Conference's executive vice-president. The amount for each of the additional years was set at approximately US$1,370 per person for 2024, $1,425 for 2025, $1,480 for 2026 and $1,534 for 2027.
"For those who were able to flee and survive -- they are some of the poorest in the survivor community; the loss of time, family, property and life cannot be made whole," the group said. As the number of survivors dwindles, the Claims Conference also negotiated continuing funding for Holocaust education, which has been extended for two more years and increased each year by US$3.3 million. The newly negotiated funding amounts are approximately US$41.6 million for 2026 and $45 million for 2027.
