Taking care of Holocaust survivors is a key priority, enabling them to live the final years of their lives with dignity and respect. Of the thousands of Holocaust survivors in the United States and around the world, nearly one quarter are age 85 or older, and one in four lives in poverty.

As a group, they are at risk for depression, social isolation, declining health, and problems associated with institutionalization, which can trigger traumatic memories of wartime experiences.

Herded into trains and work camps, they witnessed countless atrocities and nearly starved. They lost parents, siblings, and other family members to Hitler’s attempts to exterminate God’s Chosen People.

Having survived as victims of one of history’s darkest times, it is tragic that they should live out their final years in loneliness, poverty, and more loss.

Israel has over 180,000 Holocaust survivors . Tens of thousands of them are living below the poverty line. This means that precious people who have suffered more intensely in their lives than we can imagine – find themselves once again enduring hardship, often going without medications and adequate food.
