The first of more than 13,000 Russian victims of Nazism eligible for compensation from Germany received payouts Tuesday. Among the beneficiaries of the $8 million German fund are an undisclosed number of Jews who will receive a one-time compensation ranging from $9,444 for former ghetto and concentration camp inmates to $1,888 for those who spent the Nazi occupation in hiding.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
