From Despair to Hope and Back is a manifesto about Israel discriminating against its Holocaust survivors; these citizens are obliged to pay two kinds of taxes: 1) Their income tax, like the rest of their compatriots, plus 2) A significant part of their German compensation for their suffering during the Nazi regime. According to a report by the Dorner State Commission, issued in 2008, the extra tax taken from our survivors' money added up, at the time to 1.3-2.2 MILLION NIS PER SURVIVOR. Former State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss: "This is not only a legal injustice; this is also a humane and public injustice." To date, our Holocaust survivors are still compelled to support the Treasury, while many of them are spending their old age in dire poverty - on top of the burning insult of our politicians' consistent malicious exploitation.
