— The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany announced that organizations which provide shelter to Jewish victims of Nazi persecution may apply for grants from a Hardship Fund established with German federal government appropriations.
According to the guidelines issued by the German government, “Up to five percent of the available funds can also be used as subventions for the maintenance of institutions which provide shelter to the persecutees” on the basis of the Federal Indemnification Law.
In 1981, the Claims Conference will have at its disposal for allocations the sum of 2.5 million DM, which is approximately $1.2 million, according to a Conference spokesman. He said that interested organizations may file applications with the Conference by April 30. Applications should be addressed in 10 copies to:
Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, Inc. 15 East 26th Street, New York, NY 10010.
