Officials have said that observances will mark Holocaust Remembrance Day Monday, while the Israeli government is considering financial aid to survivors.

The Jerusalem Post has reported that thousands of Israeli Holocaust survivors who live below the poverty line will have their electrical costs subsidized under a program of the country's Infrastructure Ministry.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said in a statement, "We are talking about an important humanitarian step. The government has a responsibility to assist Holocaust survivors and make all efforts to prevent to take care of them properly. Their advanced ages means that we need to act on this as quickly as possible."

He further added that this is the latest step by the government to improve the living conditions of survivors.

The Post also reported that last week, Israel's Welfare Ministry announced subsidies of up to 90 percent on essential health treatment and medical supplies for Holocaust survivors.

Marking Remembrance Day in Poland, the annual "March of the Living" from Auschwitz to Birkenau will be held as planned, while the country mourns the death of Polish President Lech Kaczynski, who died in a plane crash on Saturday.

March chairman Dr. Shmuel Rosenman said, "In a year in which anti-Semitism in the enlightened world has escalated and our international standing has become unstable. The March of the Living is to me the most meaningful response." (With Inputs from Agencies)
