The last years proved that one of the main events in the life of the Association was the decision to set up town organizations, members of the Association. Exactly these town organizations are the basis of the Association, its stem and motive force, which solves the problems of the survivors promptly. At present there are 33 town organization, members of the Association, and they are led by councils, elected by the meeting. Association enlists about 3000 survivors. The current management is executed by the Central council, which elects a chairman, deputies chairman and the Bureau members.
The Association is proud of its achievements.
The management of the Association and of the town organizations has defined the care of people as its main target, care of those people who lost their relatives and dose people, survived loss of loved ones, humiliation and diseases during the years of occupation, and afterward they experienced state anti-Semitism and policy of multi-year silence on tragedy of Holocaust. In 2008 the management of the Association took part in the State commission on negotiations with the Government of Israel to allocate exemption to former prisoners of ghettos and concentration camps. As a result the Law On Exemptions to Needy Survivors was passed.
