The Foundation makes three contributions of a three-digit amounts to the Holocaust survivors living in difficult situation every year on the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashana, Hanukkah and Pessach. The project was launched in 2015, and already 29 rounds of contribution have been made. On the occasion of Pessach 2021, over 100 survivors received packages including gifts of mazzos, grape juice, chocolate and more.

Medical aid, such as: hearing aids, dental treatment, vision aids, walking aids, orthopedic shoes, wheelchairs, Incontinent products, compression stockings, etc. are available.

One of the main goals of the foundation is genocide prevention. Therefore, we invest in educating people. We bring Holocaust survivors to school classes to talk about their past experiences. Additionally, we organise interviews and talks with Holocaust survivors to spread the word and inform people about the atrocities of the Holocaust.

We help to preserve Holocaust survivors’ testimonies. It is our responsibility to learn from these brave individuals and ensure that the horrible events of the Holocaust are not forgotten, and that such atrocities never happen again.
