Content: Jakob Lewin residing in Ramat Chen, Israel, claims restitution for precious metal items and jewelry, which were seized in Biezun, Poland in 1939/40. Before the war, he worked as a bookkeeper and had a monthly income of 400 zloty. As rumors of war surfaced, he converted his cash into gold coins. Shortly before the outbreak of the war, he fled to his parents in Biezun. The street where they lived was cordoned off on May 8th, and three days later, their home was raided, they were subjected to a body search, and the mentioned items were confiscated. He received an advance payment of 1,000 DM on May 23, 1969, according to § 44a of the Federal Restitution Law (BRÜG), followed by a final payment of DM 1,000 on August 31, 1970.
