Germany will make one-off compensation payments to Holocaust survivors who were evacuated to the UK to escape the Nazis.
The survivors who were evacuated to the UK were mostly Jewish children and once they arrived in the country many of them never saw their parents again.
The New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany said the government had agreed to payments of 2,500 euros (£2,245) to those still alive from among the 10,000 people who fled on the Kindertransport.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the organised rescue effort known as Kindertransport - children's transport - which took place during the nine months prior to the outbreak of the Second World War.
At the time each child was guaranteed £50 to pay for their re-emigration after they came to Britain, as it was expected to only be a temporary measure.
But many children from the Kindertransport rescue programme became citizens of Great Britain, or emigrated to Israel, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
