Holocaust survivors who were children at the time have begun to receive payments under a landmark agreement reached with the German government.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The symbolic financial compensation for child survivors from this $190 million fund represents an acknowledgment of the unique trauma and hardship endured by children during the Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Payments of \u20ac2,500 are being made to the first 21,600 Holocaust survivors in 52 countries from the Child Survivor Fund following Claims Conference negotiations with the German government. The Claims Conference has been pressing for a number of years for recognition of the suffering of Jewish children during the Holocaust and, it will continue to press claims and pay additional survivors now that the process has begun.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese children endured devastating separation from parents, witnessed unimaginable atrocities, suffered from malnutrition and hunger, and lived through other persecution that stole their childhoods,\u201d said Julius Berman, Claims Conference President. \u201cAll of these have had a cumulative effect and are resulting in late-onset problems that only now are manifesting as physical and psychological symptoms in the survivors\u2019 advanced age.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Eligibility for the Child Survivor Fund is open to survivors born January 1, 1928 or later and who were persecuted as Jews in a concentration camp or ghetto (or similar place of incarceration, in accordance with the German Slave Labor Program); or who lived in hiding or under false identity or illegality for at least six months in Nazi-occupied or Axis countries.<\/span>
