Direct help for Holocaust survivors through person-to-person requests

How DirectAid displays self-declared Holocaust-survivor requests and how donors can respond directly and respectfully.

A visible request marker

A requester can mark that they are a Holocaust survivor. When selected, the marker appears prominently on the request card and details.

What the marker means

The marker is self-declared by the requester. DirectAid explicitly does not present it as government verification.

Help the need the person described

DirectAid is person-to-person. Donors read a specific request and decide whether and how to help rather than paying into a general DirectAid donation pool.

Respect and privacy

Wanting to help does not require requesting sensitive personal documents. Focus on the published need and use only the level of information necessary for your decision.

Donate without an account

The basic donation flow for a public request does not require sign-up. A donor account is optional for chat, video and history.

What can you do now?

To read active requests, donate or post a help request, open DirectAid directly. The basic actions do not require an account.
