The Holocaust Survivors Program, a statewide JFS collaboration, provides in-home and telehealth services that help survivors remain safely in their own homes and out of institutional care, for as long as possible. Some of the ways in which we support Holocaust survivors include…

• Case Management
• Emergency Assistance with Unexpected Expenses
• Ongoing Assistance with the cost of Home Care
• Assistance with Applications for Reparations and Compensation Programs sponsored by Germany and other formerly Nazi-Occupied Nations.
• Use of the Barry J. Vine Food Pantry at JFS
• Social gatherings in conjunction with Jewish holidays

As this population ages, the need for supportive services continues to grow, particularly as adult children relocate aging parents closer to their families.  Many of our Survivors require increasing levels of care to maintain independence and quality of life. 

Funding for this program is provided in large part by the Claims Conference Against Germany, the single largest organization in the world working to secure compensation, restitution and assistance for survivors of the Holocaust. Donations from individuals and foundations also help us support survivors. For further information about the Holocaust Survivors Program, survivors and their families can contact our case manager, JZ Glazier at (203) 389-5599, ext. 108 or email at jzglazier@jfshartford.org.
