Though pockets of prejudice remain, the West German government has labored to atone for the dead by its treatment of the living: by helping to finance the building of synagogues to replace the 300 burned down by the Nazis; by paying every Jew who was in a concentration camp 150 Deutsche mark ($36) for every month he spent in camp; by paying 6,000 DM to any Jew who returns to Germany and helping him to find housing and a job; by providing him with preferences in government loans and contracts if he sets up in business.
