Selfhelp was founded in 1936 to help waves of émigrés fleeing from Nazi persecution find new lives in America. As this population reaches their 80s and 90s, we remain in their lives, enabling them to retain their well-earned independence and quality of life.
From addressing health and safety issues to providing social opportunities, our seven Nazi Victim Services program locations offer enhanced case management services with special attention to their unique needs, in particular home care.
Today, Selfhelp proudly cares for more Holocaust survivors than any other organization in North America. Our comprehensive social services include:
With the support of our partners UJA-Federation of New York and the Claims Conference, we impart critical services and offer hope and dignity to our survivor population. Equally important is our unwavering commitment to be "the last surviving relative" to all victims of Nazi persecution.
