Germany (Holocaust reparations)

Germany’s Holocaust reparations refer to financial and symbolic compensation provided by Germany to Jewish victims and their descendants for the atrocities committed during World War II, particularly the genocide under Nazi rule. These reparations, initiated in the 1950s and ongoing, aim to acknowledge suffering, help rebuild affected communities, and promote reconciliation. They include direct payments, funding for Holocaust remembrance, and support for Jewish institutions. While not fully undoing the damage, these efforts serve as an acknowledgment of guilt and a step toward justice and restitution for the victims.
