HSF was established in 2001 by elected leaders of local Holocaust survivor associations across the country.

HSF's mission is to give meaningful voice and a more active role to survivors in the negotiations and decisions affecting them directly. These include restitution, compensation, settlement of claims and humanitarian funds and other benefits for victims of the Holocaust or their rightful heirs. We are dedicated to advocating for survivors and raising the level of awareness within the Jewish community about the hardships and poverty that an alarming percentage of aging and infirm survivors face.

Our goal is to ensure that the allocation of Holocaust-related settlement funds addresses the urgent need for quality home care and other critical social services for every survivor living in America.

HSF is a non-profit organization and tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
