BERLIN (AP) ? Germany is increasing payments to Jewish Holocaust survivors and broadening the definition of who is eligible to receive compensation.
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is to formally sign an amendment Thursday to the original 1952 compensation treaty that increases contributions to home care for survivors, raises pensions for those living in eastern Europe, and expands categories for who is eligible for payments.
Schaeuble told Inforadio the treaty has always been a work in progress. He says : "The crimes of the Holocaust were so inconceivably enormous that you can't know all of the victims or those with claims, so you have to adjust it again and again."
Germany has paid some ?70 billion ($89 billion) in compensation overall for Nazi crimes since its first agreement on compensation was signed.
