(National Fund of the Austrian Republic for Victims of Nazism)The Austrian government has set up a fund to assist Holocaust victims from Austria who are in need.

It was established in 1995, the 50th anniversary of the Second Republic, in order to “remember all the immense wrong inflicted on millions of human beings by Nazism as well as the fact that Austrians, too, were involved in these crimes.” Approximately 20,000 former Austrians all over the world, most of them Jewish, have received payments from the Nationalfonds.Dr. Karl-Renner-Ring 3
