Jewish persons displaced in the former Soviet Union because of war-related events are also included in this eligible population.
Eligibility is based on criteria established by the Claims Conference and Jewish Community Services.
Individual Compensation
Individuals persecuted as a Jew by the Nazis or their allies in the form of living in hiding or under false identity, living in a ghetto or a
camp, performing forced labor, forced to wear a yellow star, or to flee their home to escape Nazi persecution may be eligible for
individual compensation through various reparation programs.

Holocaust Survivors Social Club
Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to gather virtually for social and cultural activities, musical programs, and more. Monthly programs are planned by a group of active club members and are supported, in part, by the Claims Conference.
Social services for Nazi victims have been supported by grants from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the Maryland Department of Aging, and KAVOD SHEF (in partnership with Seed the Dream Foundation).
