Descrizione dell'organizzazione

The Federal Association Information and Advice for Those Persecuted in the Nazi Time was founded in Cologne in 1992. The main objective is to render support for the legal acceptance and just compensation for all individuals who suffered from persecution in the Nazi time. Above this, the Federal Association is taking care of elderly and often traumatized people persecuted in the Nazi time. Together with social isolation, which of course is also happening in other groups of elderly people, it is the trauma they suffer, which often keeps them from contacting other people. The persecuted people address our Association for help. This help is offered in the form of visiting services. The Association is forming a voluntary service group who supports a group of people persecuted. Jewish immigrants, Sinti, Roma, former forced labourers from Eastern Europe and survivors of the Concentration camps are forming this group. The intention is to bring support, stimulus and relaxation into the life of old and often isolated, even traumatized survivors and so increase the sense of meaning and joy in life.
