2023 Austrian Holocaust Survivor Payment
Resulting from the Claims Conference negotiations, the Federal Government of Austria has agreed to pay every living Austrian Holocaust survivor an additional direct compensation payment of approximately €5,000 (approx. $3,300 USD) per survivor. As we estimate there to be about 2,500 Austrian Holocaust survivors alive today, the total financial commitment is €12.5 million (over $13 million USD) for these direct payments to Austrian Jewish Holocaust survivors around the world. Those survivors from among the estimated 2,500 who are in special need will be able to receive a second payment of approx. €5,000 in 2023. In 2024 and every year thereafter, additional payments will be available for those who are determined to be in special need. These payments will be administered by the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism. Additional information about how to apply.
