Hungary to raise pension payments for Holocaust survivors

Seventy years after the extermination of some 400,000 Hungarian Jews by the Nazis, the government says it intends to raise pensions to Holocaust survivors for 2013.

The move comes after Hungary’s government came under severe criticism from the Claims Conference last year for depriving Holocaust survivors through “deceitful tactics”.

The government will also set up a Holocaust 2014 Memorial Commission, to be run by Janos Lazar, head of the Prime Minister’s office.

70 godina nakon uništenja oko 400.000 mađarskih Židova od strane nacista, vlada je izjavila da namjerava u 2013.  podignuti penzije za preživjele Holokausta. Prijedlog dolazi nakon što je Mađarska vlada posljednju godinu došla  pod teške kritike zbog oštećenja Holokaust preživjelih  tzv "deceitful tactics”.

Vlada će također ustanoviti " Holocaust 2014 Memorial Commission", koju će voditi Janos Lazar, voditelj ureda premijera.
