Helping Shoah Survivors Around the World

Because of your support, Holocaust survivors know they are never alone. Through the Annual Federation/UJA Campaign, Federation’s overseas partner, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), in partnership with the Claims Conference, these frail and elderly Jews receive holistic care and critical services in cities across the globe. Whether they need medicine and healthcare supplies, food packages or social services in Paris, Budapest or Kiev, your donation to Federation helps survivors live in dignity.

Oszkár, 94, is one of the approximately 4,000 survivors receiving life-saving assistance from JDC’s Hungarian office. His health declined in 2012, after a stroke left him with constant tremors, partial blindness and deafness, and limited mobility. He depends on the medical care and home supplies offered by JDC, which, he says, makes him feel like he’s not alone.
