This initiative acknowledges the critical need for assistance, particularly among Holocaust survivors residing in regions near Gaza and the northern border with Lebanon. The Solidarity Fund, with a total allocation of 25 million Euros (USD 27 million), extends eligibility to all Holocaust survivors who were residents of Israel as of January 1, 2024, regardless of their previous entitlements to compensation. This grant is accessible to any Holocaust survivor recognized by the German government.
