Germany will begin to issue pensions to Jews who survived the blockade of Leningrad in World War II. Also, payments will be sent to those who were hiding from the persecution of the Nazis in France and Romania.

The Commission on Jewish Material Claims against Germany, known as the Claims Conference, noted that pensions would be directed to approximately 6,500 such individuals who lived in Israel, North America, the former USSR, and Western Europe.
“The new funds are intended for approximately 4,500 Jews who survived the blockade of Leningrad during World War II, approximately 800 Jews who were hiding in France during the Nazi terror, and approximately 1,200 Jews from Romania,” the report said.
In particular, they will all begin to receive a lifetime monthly pension of 375 euros (435 dollars) retroactively from July.
