Holocaust Survivors Assistance Project: Hesed Shpira - Ushgorod, Ukraine

 

To date, the AJJDC has helped build a social infrastructure for over 220,000 old and needy Jewish people in the form of a network of Hesed Welfare Centers in over 1,900 towns and villages in the former Soviet Union. One of these welfare centers is situated in Ushgorod in the western Ukraine. In 1930, the town had a very large Jewish community of around 7,400 people, which was decimated under Nazi rule. Today the Jewish community has 2,000 members. Most of them are aged Holocaust survivors. The aim of this project was to cover the running costs of this institution for one year.

Eines dieser Welfare Centers befindet sich in Ushgorod, im Westen der Ukraine. 1930 hatte die Stadt eine sehr große jüdische Gemeinde, etwa 7.400 Menschen, die während der NS-Herrschaft stark dezimiert wurde. Heute besteht die jüdische Gemeine aus ca. 2.000 Mitgliedern. Die meisten von ihnen sind ältere Menschen und Holocaustüberlebende. Ziel des Projektes ist es, die Kosten für ein Betriebsjahr dieser Institution abzudecken.
