Почему только тем кто на Западе выплачивают - там какие-то заморочки с Советским блоком были, отказавшемся от выплат, а западным евреям платили. И те, кто переехал на Запад - попал под юрисдикцию выплат. Интересней, почему только блокадникам-евреям. Вот там же обоснование:Claims Conference Obtains German Payments for Jewish Survivors of Nazi Siege of Leningrad Now Living in West
In an historic breakthrough, the Claims Conference has negotiated one-time payments from Germany for certain Jewish victims of the Nazi siege of Leningrad.
In recent negotiations, the German government has agreed to include these Jewish victims in the Claims Conference Hardship Fund, provided they meet the program’s other eligibility criteria. The program issues a one-time payment of €2,556.
It is expected that this agreement will lead to the payment to thousands of Jewish victims of Nazism from the former Soviet Union now living in Israel, the United States, Germany and other Western countries. It is the first time that the persecution of Jews who lived through the 900-day siege of Leningrad has been recognized by Germany.
Because of the Claims Conference negotiations, certain Jewish persons who stayed in Leningrad at some time between September 1941 and January 1944 or fled from there during this period may receive a one-time Hardship Fund payment, if they meet the other requirements of the Hardship Fund.
Для неподготовленного слушателя весьма конфьюзинг. Ну напал Гитлер на еврейский город Ленинград с 300тыс. жителей, из чисто антисемитских побуждений. Но непонятно кто там ещё погиб в количестве 1млн. и кто были эти загадочные резиденты, на кого разбрасывали листовки...History
In planning for the siege, Hitler had described Leningrad as a center of Jewish-Bolshevik intelligentsia. Before the war, approximately 300,000 Jews lived in Leningrad and the surrounding area. If the Germans had fully occupied the city, they would have all been killed.
The Germans surrounded Leningrad in September 1941. During the siege, the Nazis cut all water and power supplies while subjecting residents to constant air attacks and artillery bombardment. The population of about 3 million was left to starve and freeze to death. An estimated 1 million residents of the city died.
The Nazis disseminated anti-Semitic flyers throughout the city during the siege, telling residents that the Jews were responsible for their misery and that the Germans were going to liberate the country from the rule of Bolsheviks and Jews.
