"Plan France" : Improving the information provided to Holocaust survivors about home care assistance from the Claims Conference

In addition to public assistance, the Claims Conference allows individuals recognized as jewish victims of Nazism to benefit from additional home care hours (cleaning, personal care, meal preparation..) at a reduced cost or assistance with out-of-pocket expenses. This includes deportees, hidden chlidren, individuals targeted by round-ups in Europe, as well as those compensated under the "Hardship Fund" for other types of persecution, including Jews from Algeria born before 1943 or Jews fromp Tunesia who experienced the Nazi occupation...

Today, these programs are still too unkown.  Many potential beneficiaries are unaware that they may be entitled to them or how to access them.  According to an estimate by the FMS, approximately 40,000 victims of anti-Semitic persecution during World War II live in France, and nearly a third have never approached the Claims Conference.

The challenge now is to reach those who do not identify themselves as survivors, those who hesitate to ask for help, those who do not think to inquire about these specific programs, or those who mistakenly believe they are not eligible.

Therefore, the Foundation for the memory of the Shoah has launched a "Plan France," aiming to double the number of beneficiaries of Claims home care assistance by the end of 2024.

Flyers, posters, and social media visuals have been created by the Foundation for this purpose.

This effort is coordinated with the Passerelles service of the FSJU and with the three Claims Conference accredited operators in France: adiam Solidarité (Paris, 92, 93, 94), the Casip-Cojasor foundation (Northern France), and the Comité d'Action Sociale Israélite de Marseille (Southern France).
