Nazi victims to receive 8 million in compensation

The Czech Council for the Victims of Nazism has allocated some 8 million crowns (434, 000 US dollars) to social, research and education projects for next year. The highest sum, 1.3 million crowns was assigned to the Jewish community in Prague, which runs a home for the elderly at Prague’s Hagibor. The Czech Council for the Victims of Nazism was established on the basis of an agreement between the Czech Republic and Austria about compensating victims of forced labour during the Nazi rule.
