The Jewish Claims Conference (JCC) has announced the allocation of an extra US$ 67 million to programs benefiting Nazi victims. The new funds will be disbursed over the course of the next three years and add to the US$ 300 million the JCC had already planned to spend on such programs from funds acquired in the sale of unclaimed Holocaust-era Jewish property in the former East Germany. In a statement, the New York-based organization said the new money was meant to make up for the decline in funding for social welfare programs as a result of the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims ending its allocations.
