The Special fund created by the government of Germany, has paid by now more than a milliard dollars to the victims who survived

The Special fund, created by the government of Germany in the context of reunion of two German states in 1990, has paid by now more than a milliard dollars to the victims who survived the Catastrophe of the European Jewry and who are currently living in other countries.
The subsidies are to be given to former victims of nazi prosecution which by now have not received any indemnification for suffering they had experienced during the Catastrophe. Basically, the victims are citizens of the East European states that were joined in, so-called, Socialist camp before the collapse of the USSR. Payments of subsidies from the Fund were initiated in 1995 when, according to the received data, 58 thousand victims of nazi prosecution were living in 39 countries. Recently 4 thousand people who could not receive any indemnification earlier have joined with the number of victims - all of them are Jews-former prisoners of nazi "labor camps ", being located in Hungary and Romania.
The agreement on payment the indemnification to this category of victims has been signed between the German government and the Claims Commission. The monthly subsidy which will be given to every victim will make 270 Euro.
