Many accusations against this organisation.Who are the men running the claims conference?Is the corupt prime minister also on the board?Where are the auditers?who decides to distribute the money?Is the claims conference a government organisation?How much money has the claims conference collected over the years?Where is the money??

What a joke. What nonsense. One million a year-how much reaches Holocaust Survivors? Ask the Claims Conference for an accounting of how much of the one million is spent on Holocaust Survivors and their response is double talk, secrecy and stonewalling. Is that the way a Jewish organization should conduct themselves? The quicker the embattled Claims Conference is put out of business the better for Holocaust Survivors and the Jewish community worldwide. How can we get rid of them? The Claims Conference needs to be closed down now before they further damage Jewish relations and spend the remaining six million. The Jewish leadership of the Claims Conference needs to do jail time for their behavior. Shalom cminuskin

I am a Child of Survivors and an involved participant in The Survivor Community. That said, let us all realize that the health demands, the emotional demand, and the financial demands on The Holocaust Survivors are greater than ever. Survivor dignity and pride is great yet many are in a postion forcing them to make grave life choices. They have earned and deserve far better than having to grovel for most basic needs. I have been on the side of Survivors First for many years. The memorials, the Holocaust education and other endeavors can be for a future time or for others to secure. While Survivors are here with us it is our moral obligation to use all of the assets afforded to the Survivors for the each and every Survivors personal needs. Enough building monuments to make society feel good. That is for tomorrows eyes. Let the Holocaust Survivors live with decency and with dignity. David Oliwek
