Aging Holocaust Victims Receive $1 Billion From Germany For Nursing Care; 80 Years Later Elderly Jewish Survivors Get Compensated...6 MILLION--NEVER FORGET[VIDEOS}

Germany will pay $1 billion euros over a four-year period for homecare for the ageing victims of the Holocaust. As Holocaust survivors grow older the $1b will help 146,000 Holocaust victims around the world with nursing care. Of course, no financial compensation for home care can repair how Germany affected the Jews, even 80 years later.

6 MILLION---NEVER FORGET.

The $1B Holocaust survivors agreement was met between the German Finance Ministry and the Claims Conference, a Jewish fund for victims of Nazi aggression.

The $1B will be given to again Holocaust victims for nursing care education, clothing, food, blankets and social activities

The new money that Germany is shelling out was once reserved for the most brutalized Holocaust victims.  Holocaust survivors that survived "closed" ghettos, which were considered harsher, were eligible to receive funds. But now every Holocaust survivor is being recognized and compensated for their incredible, inhuman, hardships.

The Holocaust began in 1933, 80 years ago. The victims being compensated were only children at the time and must have been tortured watching their friends and family be brutally killed for absolutely no reason.

"We are seeing Germany's continued commitment to fulfill its historic obligation to Nazi victims," said Stuart Eizenstat, a former United States ambassador who acted as chief negotiator for the Claims Conference. "This ensures that Holocaust survivors, now in their final years, can be confident that we are endeavoring to help them live in dignity, after their early life was filled with indescribable tragedy and trauma. This is all the more impressive since it comes at a time of budget austerity in Germany."

The former West Germany acknowledged the murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and began in 1952 to pay compensation eventually worth 3 billion marks (1.5 billion euros) to Israel.

In 1992, two years after West and communist East Germany reunited, they agreed to provide further restitution.

Last year, the German finance ministry said it would make one-off payments worth 2,556 euros each to Jewish victims of the Holocaust who had still not received any compensation. Many of them live in the former Soviet Union or eastern Europe.

The ministry also said it would pay a lifelong monthly pension worth 300 euros to Jews who had been interned in concentration camps or ghettos for three months or more or who had survived the Nazi regime by living in hiding or under a false identity for at least six months. 

80 years after the beginning of the Holocaust these elderly victims should be compensated and celebrated for all that they have endured.

Unfortunately my deceased grandparents, who all survived the Holocaust, never got to receive money for home care. They only got to see tragedy, heartbreak, and pure evil.

Too little, too late.
