Only those who applied were compensated.

Many chose to reject the compensation, stating that no amount of money would be compensation for the suffering and families lost.

Furthermore, those applying for compensation had to show proof of illness related to their time in concentration camps, etc, and the payments were meant to cover health care costs or inability to work.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what to make of your comment.

Is the compensation received by Holocaust survivors different from the  residential school  compensation?

Money exchanged doesn't negate my argument that Holocaust survivors looked forward while remembering the past, whereas people like the author of this article seem stuck in the past, even those with a generous MP salary.
