 Selfhelp’s founding president once characterized
our organization’s work as “listening love,” the ability to listen
sensitively and react spontaneously. That remains a guiding principle
of our ongoing service to men and women whose lives were marked by
tragedy and loss.
Selfhelp was founded in 1936 to help the waves of émigrés from Nazi Germany find employment, housing, and a meaningful new life. During the following years, we provided our first generation of Nazi victims with housing assistance, help with employment, vacation opportunities for children and elders, and home care. As the survivor population aged, new generations came to us for help, and today we care for a greater number of Holocaust survivors than any other organization in North America. As this frail population continues to age into their 70’s, 80’s and beyond, their needs are more pressing than ever, especially in the area of home care. Selfhelp’s continuing commitment is to be the “last remaining relative,” to any survivor of Nazi persecution who asks for our assistance. We work closely with a number of other organizations to provide care, hope, dignity and supportive services to these fragile men and women. |
