Content

Nachum Golan (formerly Norbert Spiegel), residing in Kfar Szold, Israel, sought compensation for harm to profession, specifically for loss of pension rights from his employment at the Hechaluz organization in Berlin. The claim, filed under § 31d of the BWGÖD, was initially rejected but following a lawsuit, a settlement was reached, and he was awarded a capital compensation of DM 12,000. His brother, Siegmund Spiegel, also faced a hostile antisemitic atmosphere at their high school in Gera. Before the war, Nachum Golan attended high school in Gera until 1931 and completed a bricklayer apprenticeship in Leipzig in 1933 but was denied work as a Jew. From September 1933 until his emigration to Palestine in April 1935, he was employed by the Hechaluz organization in Berlin as head of the emigration department. After emigrating, he joined Kibbutz Shaar Hanegew (later Kfar Szold), served in a Jewish formation of the British military from 1941 to 1946, and was an officer in the Israeli army from 1948 to 1950. The case was handled by the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv and Cologne, with assistance from Hakibbutz Hameuchad and the Delegation der Kibbuz-verbände in Israel. The victims Arthur Meron and Saul Weinberg are mentioned as references for the processing of the applicants case.
