Brooklyn, NY - Congressman Urges to Establish Residential Community for Holocaust Survivors

Borough Park, Brookly, NY - Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) was joined by Holocaust survivors and community activists to urge Chief Judge Edward Korman of the Eastern District of New York to distribute $10 million of the $1.25 billion in the Swiss bank claims settlement to construct an assisted living facility for Holocaust survivors in Boro Park, Brooklyn. Nadler made the following statement at a press conference at the United States Courthouse for the Eastern District of New York.

"On Friday, April 16th, Special Master Judah Gribetz will make his recommendations to Chief Judge Edward Korman for the distribution of some of the $1.25 billion in the Swiss bank settlement. I strongly urge that part of this money be distributed to needy survivors who live in New York City. The largest concentration of these Holocaust survivors is in Boro Park Brooklyn, and these survivors deserve to live in dignity in their twilight years."
