Content

Chaim-Selig Lew, born in Długosiodło, Poland, on October 12, 1924, and residing in Tel Aviv, Israel, sought compensation for harm to liberty. Following the German invasion in September 1939, his family was expelled from Długosiodło and fled to Warsaw, where he was forced to wear the Yellow Star. The family then escaped to Wilno, where he lived in hiding before being confined to the Wilno Ghetto from September 1941 to April 1943. He then hid with a Polish family, Wincenty Krasicki, until liberation in July 1944. After the war, he was sent to Nizhny Tagil, Russia, until 1946, then lived in the Hof and Deggendorf DP camps in Germany before immigrating to Israel in 1949. The United Restitution Organization (URO) in Tel Aviv represented him in his claim to the Claims Conference Article 2 Fund, which was rejected due to insufficient evidence. The applicant had previously received compensation under the German Federal Indemnification Law (BEG), file number 26 EX 115/73.
