Distribution of U.S. federal funds for Holocaust survivors begins

Haaretz

The Jewish federations umbrella organization disbursed $2.8 million in federal grants to assist Holocaust survivors.

With matching private funds, required under terms of the Department of Health and Human Services allocation announced last year, the Jewish Federations of North America said its disbursement announced Wednesday will result in $4.5 million in assistance for Holocaust survivors.  

The allocation is a tranche of $12 million to be distributed over five years and is part of an initiative launched in late 2013 by Vice President Joe Biden.A statement from the Jewish Federations of North America described the services as “person-centered and trauma-informed,” saying it is a “holistic approach to service provision that promotes the dignity, strength, and empowerment of trauma victims by incorporating knowledge about the role of trauma in victims’ lives into agency programs, policies and procedures.”

The grant recipients include Jewish social service agencies in 11 states and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

The statement said that of the more than 100,000 survivors in the United States, one in four is 85 or older and the same number live in poverty.

“Many live alone and are at risk for social isolation, depression, and other physical and mental health conditions stemming from periods of starvation, disease and torture,” according to JFNA.

  1. I should be eligible for a holocaust survivor payout because I spent 47 years in Jew York City. Where’s my cut for living among those lunatics?

    Talk about your traumatic events. Try driving a car through Jew Town.

    “Oy, Vey… 2000 years of suffering and now I have to rush when the light turns green? In Treblinka, when the light turned green, it meant ‘kill another Jew’. Now when the light turns green, the goyim blow their horns at me. Oy, Vey. Let me live!!”

  2. “The statement said that of the more than 100,000 survivors in the United States,…”

    Okaaaaaayyyyy… 🙄

    “Many live alone and are at risk for social isolation, depression, and other physical and mental health conditions stemming from periods of starvation, disease and torture,”

    That may have actually happened to a very few of them.

    But it was perpetrated by the stinking Russian Bolshevik jews & the Allies… AFTER the Nazis surrendered, NOT by the Nazis themselves.

  3. “The grant recipients include Jewish social service agencies in 11 states and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.”

        The Spreading Epidemic Of Tribalism In America:
        [Indian Tribes have had to aggressively defend their lands – since they, as we are now – being disarmed and subjected to US government theft of their children, lands, languages and culture. For all their effort, Indian Tribes are still slowly being subjected to ethnic cleansing and extinction. Additionally, Indian tribes now are dealing with an Islamic invasion imposed by the Obama administration. The author of this article fails to realize that.]
        “The Obama administration has determined that integrating domestic tribalism (Native American Tribal governments) with middle eastern tribalism is good ‘economic development’ for American Indian Tribes. …”

            usurper’s actions / inaction & words absolutely substantiate this quote

            Believe this was from one of his books, unsure as I never read any of that filth.

          2. Yup, POTUS is ‘determined’ to destroy America … He also ‘determined’ that he will remain in D.C. after he leaves the presidency.
            I ‘determine’ that to be a threat.

  7. How the F—- is the United States of America accountable for what (MAY) have happened in WW2 to the Jews and others under the Fist of Germany? Did we the US Torture them? Force them to slave labor? Kill them for who they are? This is along the same line as Slaves in the 17-1800’s here in the US. Will it never end? This is why I stopped paying any taxes to the corrupt US Gov’t years ago. LAND of the FREE!!
