Germany to pay Holocaust victims new compensation

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22707483

Germany has announced it is going to pay 8 million euros to holocaust survivors. There is an estimate that the money will go to about 56,000 people. This new payment is being made in order to take care of the elderly victims and to give compensation to survivors of open ghettos.This new payment is also going to survivors who have not yet received compensation, many living in the former Soviet Union. A lot of the money is going to survivors in Israel as well. This is said to be impressive because of the austerity cuts.
