The Associated Press announced on February 12th that a Swiss Fund, ‘JOINT Hungary’, has disbursed money to 18,000 Jews in Hungary who survived the Holocaust. Among the survivors was one deaf man who told JOINT Hungary director Israel Sela that he would use the money to buy a fax machine since he couldn’t use the telephone. About 600,000 of the more than one million Jews living in Hungary before the war were killed in the Holocaust. Currently the Jewish population in Hungary is estimated at 100,000.
