These Children Were Executed After Nazis Took This Picture

These People Survived But Israel Forgot Them

Holocaust Survivors 'Outraged' JERUSALEM - An Israeli government offer of a new $20 monthly stipend for Holocaust survivors provoked outrage Tuesday, with survivors charging the meager allowance will do nothing to make up for years of neglect of the 240,000 Israelis who lived through Nazi horrors. Survivors have long claimed that European countries treat them far better than Israel, where many elderly survivors live in poverty.   Israel's Spokesman Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's spokesman announced the new allowance did nothing to change that impression. One survivor called the offer "absurd and insulting."   Marv Gold Has To Eat Chicken Necks Six million Jews were killed by the Nazis during World War II. Hundreds of thousands who survived concentration camps came to Israel after the war. Many suffered physical or psychological damage from the torture and they need psychological treatment. Israel TV showed video of an 85-year-old survivor who said the only meat he could afford was chicken necks.   Jews Are 'Outraged' But that works out to an average of just $20 a month for each survivor. "Of course the survivors cannot accept such an offer," said Dubby Arbel, chairman of the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Survivors in Israel.    He Only Gets $500 A Month The new payment is in addition to government support already given to survivors, including those deemed physically or psychologically handicapped, and regular pension payments of about $487 a month.   Committee For Jewish Claims Against Germany Hillary Kessler-Godin, spokeswoman for Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, said Germany still pays monthly pensions to 80,000 survivors around the world, after starting in the 1950s.   Danish Jews Get $4,110 A Month Roet said the average stipend for survivors in Holland, where he was born, is between $2,740 and $4,110 a month. Some Israelis Got Nothing "For 42 years I received nothing from the state," survivor Kathleen Schwartz, 71, told the newspaper Haaretz. "This grant has arrived too late for thousands of survivors. Time is working against us."   Germany Has Paid $80 Billion Since 1950 Israel has received nearly $80 billion in reparations Israel since beginning in the 1950.
