Max Meir Zimels, residing in Kfar Szold, Israel, seeks compensation for harm to profession, alleging that due to Nazi persecution, including the boycott on April 1, 1933, he was forced to abandon his position as head of the cultural department for the Hechaluz, a Zionist organization in Berlin, and emigrate in 1934.
Born in Königsberg on January 21, 1911, Zimels studied in Jerusalem and Königsberg before working for Hechaluz in Berlin from September 1932 to late 1933. He completed Hachshara training in Yugoslavia and immigrated to Palestine in autumn 1934. He continued working for Jewish organizations, undertaking a mission for the Jewish Agency in Berlin from January 1, 1939, prompted by Kristallnacht. Post-war, he assisted Jewish women and girls rescued from German camps via the Bernadotte Action in Sweden (1945-1947) and helped Jewish emigrants in detention camps in Cyprus (1947-1948).
Max Meir Zimels accepted a settlement for a one-time capital compensation of 10,000 DM under § 31d BWGÖD. He had previously received 32,000 DM for professional damages and a 20,000 DM loan from the Compensation Authority Berlin.
The United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv and Cologne, along with Hakibbutz Hameuchad, were involved in the case.
