Default German Holocaust victims' group loses charity status

German Holocaust victims' group loses charity status

One of Germany's oldest and biggest Holocaust victims' organizations is facing the loss of its nonprofit status. Financial authorities believe it has ties to left-wing extremists.

Nov 24, 2019

The Union of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime/Federation of Antifascists (VVN-BdA) received a notice this month from the financial authorities of the state of Berlin that its nonprofit tax benefits would no longer be awarded.

According to the several German media outlets shown a copy of the letter, the financial authority justified its decision by citing a 2016 report by the Bavarian domestic intelligence agency that listed the VVN-BdA among "left-wing extremist organizations and groupings."
