Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] Family of Krispy Kreme and Panera Bread Makers Donates Millions of Euros to Holocaust Survivors
The German family behind Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Panera Bread and Pret A Manger Reimann, pledged 5 million Euros ($5.5 million USD) to Holocaust survivors and another 5 million Euros to an assistance fund for Holocaust survivors after learning that the family business once used forced labor and supported the Nazi regime. This was announced by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany which will administer the fund through its Alfred Landecker Foundation.
The Claims Conference will absorb 100 percent of the administrative costs associated with management and distribution of the five million euros to ensure that the full amount of funding goes to Holocaust survivors. Funds will be disseminated to the Claims Conference over three years, starting in 2020 with $2.2 million (€2m), another $2.2 million in 2021, and the final installment of $1.1 million (€1m) in 2022.
