Abraham Harschalom (Friedberg), a resident of Ramat Gan, Israel, sought compensation for the loss of liberty he suffered during the Nazi era and for the loss of life of his family. Before the war, Abraham Harschalom was a student in Pruzany, Poland, where he was later forced to wear a Jewish star, perform forced labor, and was confined to the Pruzany ghetto from August 1941 to January 1943. Following the ghetto's liquidation, he was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau (February 1943 - October 1944), where he was tattooed with the number 99288, and was subsequently imprisoned in the concentration camps of Oranienburg, Sachsenhausen, Ohrdruf (November 1944 - January 1945), Grawinkel (January 1945 - April 1945), Buchenwald, and Leitmeritz. He was forced on a death march from Grawinkel to Buchenwald in April 1945, before escaping a transport to Prague and being liberated on May 9, 1945. His parents, Moses and Zira Friedberg (née Galpern), were deported from the Pruzany ghetto to Auschwitz on February 2, 1943, and were murdered in the gas chambers immediately upon arrival. His older brother, Sioma Friedberg, was also deported to Auschwitz, where he was assigned prisoner number 99287 and perished in March 1943. After the war, Abraham Harschalom studied electrical engineering in Aussig, Czechoslovakia, from 1945 to 1949, and then immigrated to Israel in April 1949. On February 15, 1960, the Restitution Office in Koblenz awarded him compensation of DM 6,750 for 45 months of damage to liberty based on §§ 43-50 and § 160 of the Federal Compensation Law (BEG), though his claim for loss of life was not pursued further due to a lack of evidence. The claim was handled by the URO office in Frankfurt am Main and the MILTAM office in Tel Aviv.
