The ORT’s vocational retraining program for displaced Jews in Germany will insure that handicapped and disabled trainees will be able to earn a livelihood after they are resettled in the United States, Israel or elsewhere, it was reported here today by the World ORT Union.
Special rehabilitation centers for handicapped Jews have been established by the ORT in cooperation with the International Refugee Organization, the Joint Distribution Committee, the Jewish Agency and the Central Committee of Liberated Jews. Jewish invalids who receive ORT training will be granted allowances by the Bavarian Provincial Government in order to ease the financial burden imposed on them during their period of training.
