Content: Judith Mayer, née Gal, residing in Ramat Gan, Israel, sought hardship compensation for jewelry and precious metal items belonging to her mother, Edith Gal, née Berger. In April 1944, Edith Gal was forced into the Pécs ghetto and was deported to Auschwitz on July 4, 1944, where she perished and her belongings were seized on July 7. The applicant, a student at Budapest University, was arrested in Budapest and imprisoned on May 31, 1943. After liberation, she married in England in 1947, lived in Canada, and immigrated to Israel in 1950. On April 16, 1968, she was granted an advance payment of 1,000 DM as hardship compensation under § 44a of the Federal Restitution Law (BRÜG), but a further application was rejected on April 4, 1973.
