Walter Meyer, née Hauschner, residing in Tel Aviv, Israel, filed a claim for compensation for damage to his professional advancement and for emigration costs. He was forced to leave the Realgymnasium in Frankfurt/Oder in 1934 due to persecution by teachers and students, and later had to abandon a carpentry apprenticeship because the guild forbade Jewish apprentices, leading to his emigration to South Africa in March 1937.
Walter Meyer also pursued compensation as the heir of his father, Max Hauschner, but later decided to withdraw this claim. His parents, Max and Thekla Hauschner (née Frank), followed him into emigration in November 1938.
Born in Transvaal, South Africa, on July 18, 1917, Walter Meyer returned to Germany with his parents in 1922, settling in Frankfurt/Oder. After emigrating to South Africa, he worked as a carpenter and later as a factory manager in Johannesburg, serving in the South African Army from 1940 to 1944. In 1949, he immigrated to Israel. He returned to South Africa in 1952 to complete his studies, earning a diploma in Production Engineering in 1953, before returning to Israel in 1954, where he worked as an industrial engineer.
Based on a decision from the Entschädigungsbehörde Hildesheim on March 6, 1961, Walter Meyer was awarded 5,000 DM for damage to education under §§ 115 and 116 of the BEG. A subsequent decision on November 29, 1965, increased this amount to a total of 10,000 DM. His claim for emigration costs was rejected as the amount was below the minimum threshold of 500 RM.
The applicant was represented by the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv, Frankfurt, and Hannover. The case also involved the Jüdische Anlernwerkstatt (Jewish Training Workshop) in Frankfurt am Main. The applicant Eva Goldmann is mentioned on p. 26.
