Urges the German Government to: (1) expand and simplify its system of reparations so that all Holocaust survivors can receive reparations regardless of their nationality, length or place of internment, or current financial situation; (2) provide reparations to Holocaust survivors in the former Soviet Union and other former Communist countries in Eastern and Central Europe; (3) fulfill its responsibilities to Holocaust victims and immediately set up a comprehensive medical fund to cover the medical expenses of all Holocaust survivors worldwide; and (4) help restore the dignity of such survivors by paying them sufficient reparations to ensure that no Holocaust survivor be forced by poverty to live in conditions worse than those generally enjoyed by the surviving former Nazis who persecuted them.
This non-binding resolution urges Germany to broaden its Holocaust reparations program to reach all survivors regardless of nationality, location of internment, or financial status, with particular focus on survivors in Eastern Europe and former Soviet countries. It calls on Germany to establish a medical fund covering healthcare costs for all Holocaust survivors worldwide and ensure reparations are sufficient so survivors do not live in poverty worse than surviving Nazi perpetrators.
This resolution has no operative effect on US law, Israel, Palestine, or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. VoteLog classifies it as neutral because it addresses only Holocaust reparations policy between Germany and survivors, falling outside the scope of tracking congressional positions on Israel-Palestine substantive issues.
