Holocaust Survivor Resources

Harnessing the power of collective expertise, we work with diverse partners across a range of service areas to deliver the best care possible to Holocaust Survivors, older adults with a history of trauma, and their family caregivers. Partnerships are essential to improving care, as they enable us to better understand the unique needs and strengths of communities and how to extend support to all individuals.

 

The Center for Jewish Care at Jewish Family Service

Services also include: advocacy, translation services, assistance with claims forms, medical escort, homemaker services, and emergency funding often for medical treatment. Eligible survivors receive assistance with paying for homecare and emergency needs through funding from the Claims Conference, the Change a Life Foundation, and private donations.

The Blue Card

 

The Blue Card was established by the Jewish community in Germany in 1934, to help Jews already being affected by Nazi restrictions through loss of jobs, forcibly closed businesses and other forms of oppression. In 1939, The Blue Card was reestablished in the United States to continue aiding refugees of Nazi persecution resettling in America. After the Holocaust, the mission of the organization was expanded to help Survivors of the Shoah from all European countries.The Blue Card receives funding and donations to provide financial assistance to poverty-stricken Holocaust survivors.
