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 concurrent resolution urges the German government to expand its Holocaust reparations system to cover all survivors regardless of nationality or internment location, specifically including survivors in Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union. It also calls on Germany to establish a medical fund covering healthcare costs for Holocaust survivors worldwide and to increase reparation payments so survivors are not left in worse financial conditions than surviving perpetrators.
This resolution has no connection to Israel-Palestine policy, US-Israel relations, or Middle East conflict. It addresses Holocaust reparations from Germany and does not engage with contemporary I/P legislative debates or US military or financial support for either party.
