Descendants of Survivors

For years, the Federal Association Information and Advice for Survivors of Nazi Persecution has been looking into the situation of descendants of survivors. We provide advice to those affected, pool their interests and connect stakeholders. Our symposia, conferences and working groups help increase public awareness to our cause.
