Dr. Baruch Ophir, residing in Jerusalem, Israel, seeks compensation for harm to his education and profession, claiming that Nazi persecution, specifically a letter from the Scientific Examination Office in Berlin on September 25, 1933, prevented him from completing his exams for a higher teaching position as an academic teacher of Jewish religion. He had studied at the universities of Hamburg, Berlin, and Jerusalem, as well as the Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin. From November 1, 1933, to April 1935 Ophir worked for the Reichsvertretung der Deutschen Juden as a school director in Italy but was forced to leave after being denied a passport extension and becoming stateless on February 2, 1935, after which he emigrated to Palestine. A portion of his salary, 150 DM monthly, was sent to support his parents in Hamburg who were likely victims of Nazi persecution too. His claim for pension benefits under the BWGÖD was rejected by the Federal Administrative Office on August 18, 1958, a decision upheld on appeal on November 21, 1960, leading to an administrative court case. The United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, Cologne, and Hannover were involved in handling his case.
