Donations

Help people who were persecuted under National Socialism! The survivors are very elderly; many suffer from poverty in old age and increasing isolation. Many also face serious health challenges. Their descendants are also affected by the consequences. They need advice and opportunities to connect with others in order to understand, process, and carry forward the history and trauma of their families as contemporary witnesses.

The Federal Association supports survivors and their descendants in all of this. We provide individual counseling, accompany them through difficult life situations, offer educational programs in schools and to the public, and create spaces for encounters, remembrance, and mutual support. With projects such as our Community and Testimony Cafés, the “Warm Home” initiative, contemporary witness programs, and offers for descendants, we give a voice to people whose experiences must not be forgotten.

Your donation makes a tangible difference. It enables us to maintain our social services, educational projects, and advocacy for the needs of those affected. It helps us keep memory alive, strengthen humanity, and pass on this work across generations.
