Germany has agreed to extend another $720 million to provide home care, medical resources, and emergency assistance to Holocaust survivors.
- A New York-based organization that handles claims on behalf of Jews who suffered under the Nazis said Wednesday the money will be distributed to more than 300 social welfare organizations around the world.
- With the end of World War II more than 76 years ago, all living Holocaust survivors are elderly, and many suffer from numerous medical issues because they were deprived of proper nutrition when they were young.
- Since 1952, the German government has paid about $90 billion to individuals for suffering and losses resulting from the Nazis.
