Holocaust payment
BUCHAREST: Romania’s parliament has approved legislation allowing direct financial support to Holocaust survivors during World War II.
Lawmaker Silviu Vexler said beneficiaries would include those deported to ghettos or concentrations camps, survivors of the death trains and forced labour detachments.
“This is a symbolic gesture to recognise the terrifying suffering of people who have been through the darkest of moments,” he said. – Reuters
