And was wondering if there are any here that might be able to relate any furthur information on this subject....

JERUSALEM - When Gizela Burg arrived in Israel after making it out of four Nazi concentration camps alive, she thought her problems of survival were behind her. But now, at the age of 83, she can no longer afford to pay her growing medical bills. Burg is among about 90,000 Holocaust survivors — a third of the total in Israel — who live in poverty, according to official figures. For the childless widow, her inability to fix her television or afford a taxi meant she was spending Israel's annual Holocaust remembrance day on Tuesday alone and in silence.

I am looking for srticles or information that might possible shed some light on whatever help or assistance these people are receiving....

Also, does this tragic situation extend beyond the boarders of Israel?

It seems to me that these people deserve all the help and assistance available.... To endure such hardship and mindless brutality only to survive to aa eventual life of want is deplorable at best....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
