US EditionGerman Government Pledges Record $1B in Funding for Holocaust Survivor Home Care
- This year, the German government agreed to allocate $1.08 billion for home care for survivors in 2026, according to Stuart E. Eizenstat, enabling all waitlisted survivors to receive it.
- The survivor population's median age is 87, making home care the dominant expense, while over 80% of Holocaust survivors in countries that made up the former Soviet Union live near poverty.
- Negotiators said they faced challenges convincing German officials that fewer survivors need more care, and the deal also secured funding for `Righteous Rescuers` as defined by the Claims Conference.
- Eizenstat said the expanded funding and home care will provide dignity to survivors in their final years, urging local federations to supplement aid so survivors in the United States and Israel avoid poverty.
- A Claims Conference analysis warns nearly all Holocaust survivors will be dead within 15 years, increasing urgency for care and education amid Germany's economic pressures this year.
