Hmm, what's $667 million divided amongst 240k people?
ERLIN (AP) — Germany has agreed to provide more than a half billion euros to aid Holocaust survivors struggling under the burdens of the coronavirus pandemic, the organization that negotiates compensation with the German government said Wednesday.
The payments will be going to approximately 240,000 survivors around the world, primarily in Israel, North America, the former Soviet Union and Western Europe, over the next two years, according to the New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, also referred to as the Claims Conference.

According to the article, these octogenarian holocaust survivor's immune systems were compromised due to the holocaust, making them uniquely susceptible to coronavirus. Most humans do not live as long as they have however, meaning that this claim of compromised immune systems is likely bs. In fact, in spite of the hokey concentration camp inmate costume worn by Joseph Kleinman in the above photo, the article admits these recipients aren't holocaust survivors at all, but really jews who managed to escape to Russia during the era that Nazi Germany existed:
The new funds are targeted to Jews who aren’t receiving pensions already from Germany, primarily people who fled the Nazis and ended up in Russia and elsewhere to hide during the war.
Germany is still the personal piggy bank of the world's most prolific con artists, a century after Versailles.
