Ensuring We Never Forget
As antisemitism plagues our communities, we are reminded of the Holocaust and
what happens when hate is allowed to spread. The Jewish Federation of Greater
Philadelphia keeps our promise to never forget by caring for Holocaust survivors
and educating the next generation to ensure that history does not repeat itself.

Caring for Holocaust Survivors
45,497 Holocaust survivors worldwide served through
organizations and programs supported
by the Jewish Federation
14,602 Holocaust survivors received food deliveries
and assistance through programs supported by the
Jewish Federation
Meet Sultana
Sultana is a Holocaust survivor who lives in a small house in
Kiryat Gat, Israel. She suffers from osteoporosis, heart disease
and mobility issues. Due to increased falls, Sultana was unable to
use the stairs to access her backyard. Latet - Aid for Life, supported
by the Jewish Federation, recently created a ramp for Sultana to use, so
she can once again enjoy her yard.

Latet - Aid for Life provides Holocaust survivors with low socio-economic
backgrounds the means to live out their lives with dignity. Clients receive a
monthly food box and hygiene products as well as access to an emergency fund
for unforeseen and urgent needs, like medical services. Additional services include
in-home social support and home repairs and renovations.

#StandUptoJewishHate Jews only make up 2.4% of the American population yet are the victims of 55% of religious-
based hate crimes, recorded by the FBI Hate Crime Reports and according to the Pew Research
Center. This is why the Jewish Federation is proud to launch the #StandUpToJewishHate campaign in
partnership with the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism. Designed to mobilize all Americans, especially
non-Jews, to combat antisemitism, community members can support this national initiative that raises
awareness of current day Jewish hate by sharing the # ■ across social media.
