N. African Holocaust survivors not getting funds

2012-04-24 20

67 years after World War II, thousands of North African Holocaust victims remain unrecognized by the State of Israel and are ineligible for compensation. Immigrants who moved to Israel after 1953 fail to receive Holocaust-era restitution -- despite efforts made over the past decade to recognize and compensate Holocaust survivors from Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Algeria. There are 2,000 survivors from Tunisia and a few thousand more from other North African countries.
