(3) to ensure that meals provided by the Act 
meet any special health-related or other dietary 
needs of program participants, including needs based 
on religious, cultural, or ethnic requirements; and

ity and self-sufficiency of older individuals with

SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) During the Holocaust, which took place be-
tween 1933 and 1945, an estimated 6,000,000 Jews, 
as well as millions from other targeted groups, were 
murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. 
(2) The United States Holocaust Memorial Mu-
seum Encyclopedia estimates that more than 
200,000 Jews found refuge in the United States 
from 1933 to 1945 and that approximately 137,000 
Jewish refugees had settled in the United States 
from 1945 to 1952. 
(3) Jewish refugees continued to immigrate to 
the United States from Europe and countries of the 
former Soviet Union over the subsequent decades.

(4) According to the Conference on Jewish Ma-
terial Claims Against Germany’s 2011 Worldbook: A 
Guide to Claims Conference Programs Worldwide, 
the ‘‘Estimated Nazi Victim Population’’ in the 
United States is 120,935, down from an estimated 
127,300 in 2010. 
(5) According to the Conference on Jewish Ma-
terial Claims Against Germany’s 2011 Worldbook: A 
Guide to Claims Conference Programs Worldwide, 3 
in 5 of Nazi victims currently residing in the United 
States are women, and while the average age of a 
Nazi victim is 80, nearly one-quarter are age 85 or 
older. 
(6) Holocaust survivors continue to live with 
the unique mental and physical scars of the uncon-
scionable trauma caused by the Holocaust, and while 
institutionalized settings are beneficial for some 
older people, the consequences of institutionalization 
can have a particular adverse effect on Holocaust 
survivors. 
(7) For many Holocaust survivors, institutional-
ized settings produce sights, sounds, smells, emo-
tions, and routines that can induce panic, anxiety, 
and re-traumatization as a result of experiences 
from the Holocaust.

(8) According to Findings from the National 
Jewish Population Survey 2000–01, a Jewish Fed-
erations of North America Report produced in De-
cember 2003, ‘‘victims are more economically and 
socially vulnerable, report poorer health and more 
health problems, and have somewhat greater social 
service needs’’. They also report poorer health and 
more disabilities that limit daily activities compared 
to non-victims. 
(9) Low-income Holocaust survivors are more 
reliant on social service programs than most other 
older Americans, and proportionally more Holocaust 
survivors need services such as personal care, home- 
delivered and congregate meals, transportation, 
counseling, and mental health support to promote 
health and quality of life. 
(10) Community organizations serving Holo-
caust survivors report that approximately two-thirds 
of Holocaust survivors live alone, and living alone is 
a risk factor for hospitalization and nursing home 
admission, poverty, falls, depression, poor nutrition, 
social isolation, and loneliness, which have been as-
sociated with poor health outcomes and an increased 
risk of death.

(11) According to Findings from the National 
Jewish Population Survey 2000–01, more than half 
of all Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the 
United States from the former Soviet Union after 
1965 have annual incomes beneath the Federal pov-
erty threshold and constitute an extremely vulner-
able at-risk population in the United States. 
(12) Community organizations serving Holo-
caust survivors report that transportation is vital to 
help Holocaust survivors attend medical appoint-
ments, shop and purchase necessary items, visit 
family and friends, and participate in cultural, rec-
reational, or social events, such as congregate meals 
or religious services. 
(13) As the general population of older adults 
increases and public or philanthropic resources re-
main constant, providers serving older adults includ-
ing Holocaust survivors need additional capacity to 
cover the needed services. 
(14) The Administration for Community Living 
in the United States Department of Health and 
Human Services serves as the Federal agency re-
sponsible for increasing access to community sup-
ports, while focusing attention and resources on the

unique needs of older Americans and people with 
disabilities across the lifespan. 
(15) 
The 
Administration 
for 
Community 
Living’s mission is to maximize the independence, 
well-being, and health of older adults, people with 
disabilities, and their families and caregivers. 
(16) Many social service agencies that receive 
funding under the Older Americans Act for home-de-
livered or congregate meals serve diverse seniors 
with specialized dietary needs based on religious, 
cultural, or ethnic requirements, and the necessary 
special meals often cost more than non-special 
meals.
