On the eve it became known that the German government agreed to increase significantly funding of programs for Jewish, who had survived during the Holocaust: in the next three years, Germany will pay more than a billion dollars as part of compensation for actions in World War II.

Negotiations on this issue were held by Claims Conference Organization, which protects the rights of Jews who survived the Holocaust. The last increase in funding will concern people who are in need of home care. Now all over the world there are about half a million of Jews who were able to pass through a ringer on during the Holocaust and stay alive. Many of them still have not received any payments: some simply do not know that they exist, others cannot get all the relevant paperwork done. Such international funds as Claims Conference help people in restoring their rights.

Just for post-war years, Germany has paid more than $ 90 billion in compensation. In 2016, Claims Conference will transfer to Israel about $ 450 million for the financing of social services for the Holocaust survivors. In addition, $ 450 million will be transferred by direct payments for individual compensations. The money will be spent on care - it is clear that it will be got by aged people – medicine, food, clothing and emergency financial assistance.

Over 70 years have passed since the war, but Germany does not lay down duties, do not complain about the crisis, devaluation, or social problems. Even in 1952 it signed an agreement on the recognition of its responsibility for the Holocaust, and since then strictly has been fulfilling its obligations. The German government believes that people, who had survived the Holocaust, should be provided an opportunity to live in dignity.

The ability to recognize their mistakes and pay for them is an example of the behavior of a truly strong and democratic state. Human history is history of wars. Reservations and concentration camps, weapons of mass destruction and anti-personnel mines - most of its human achievements the “genius” dedicated to creation of instruments for the destruction of their own kind.
