Pension civil victim of the war

One of the priorities of the Shoah Memorial is the compensation of Holocaust victims and the prevention of further crimes against humanity. The Memorial website is therefore not only intended for survivors of the Holocaust but also for the general public.

The supplementary pension program is meant for slave labourers who had to work hard in countries occupied by Germans during World War II. The victims of forced labour have the right to compensation which is transferable to their spouses. The Memorial website provides them with details on the application process.
