Calling upon the Government of Germany to negotiate in

Whereas after nearly half a century, tens of thousands of
Holocaust survivors continue to be denied justice and
compensation by the Government of Germany;
Whereas these people, who suffered grievously at the hands

various compensation programs;
Whereas compensation for these victims has been nonexistent
or, at best, woefully inadequate; and
Whereas the time has come to right this terrible wrong: Now,
therefore, be it

sated Holocaust survivors may be corrected while they are
still alive.
