Content

Alexander Benjamin, born on May 29, 1901, in Elberfeld, Germany, sought compensation for harm to profession after his dismissal in March 1933 from his position as a social worker and later manager at the Jewish Welfare Service in Frankfurt am Main, where he had worked since 1922. He emigrated from Germany in February 1933 and after the war resided in Gedera, Israel. The United Restitution Organization (URO) office in Tel Aviv and the Advisory Committee of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany in Bonn were involved in his case. Initially, he was granted a monthly compensation of DM 303.47, effective from October 1, 1952, with a back payment of DM 3,641.60. On November 8, 1957, his pension was re-evaluated under the Federal Supplementary Act for Compensation (BWGOD), and his basic monthly compensation was increased to DM 313.47, with retroactive cost-of-living adjustments.
