## Key points

- Polish survivors’ groups say urgent humanitarian support is needed.
- About 50,000 survivors of Nazi persecution remain in Poland.
- German-Polish talks have not resolved the question of assistance.

## Summary

Polish organisations representing survivors of Nazi persecution have appealed to German businesses, foundations, associations and individuals for urgent humanitarian support. They say many survivors are elderly, ill and facing rising costs, and that help may arrive too late if the German government delays a decision on assistance.

The appeal says about 50,000 survivors remain in Poland, including former prisoners and people forced into labour. Germany previously provided 500 million deutschmarks for Holocaust victims in Poland, and more than one million people received support through those funds, but many in Poland consider past payments inadequate. Poland’s former government demanded 6.2 trillion zloty in reparations in 2022; the current government has sought a “creative solution”, while talks have yet to resolve the issue.
