Emil Birnbaum, a former co-owner of a wholesale business in Frankfurt am Main, sought compensation for various Nazi-era persecutions through the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv and Frankfurt am Main. His claims included harm to profession, harm to liberty for his imprisonment in Buchenwald concentration camp from November 15 to December 15, 1938, following the November Pogrom (Kristallnacht), and harm to belongings. The property losses consisted of a lift of household items partly seized from the warehouse, partly confiscated in Trieste, personal items taken in the camp (a golden watch and chain, an attache case, and pajamas), a 'Tatra' car sold under duress in 1938, punitive taxes, and losses on life insurance policies. He was also forced to sell his business - shop of mill goods. Following his release from Buchenwald, Emil was forced to emigrate from Germany, arriving in Palestine with his wife and youngest daughter in February 1939. Post-war, he worked at a bank in Tel Aviv until 1952, when illness forced him to stop. After his death on March 5, 1956, his widow, Recha Rachel Birnbaum, and their four daughters—Gerti Biena Katz, Ruth Rosalie Blake, Hertha Amalie Mirjam Schatz, and Lotte Caroline Lea Schiffmann (Schifron)—continued the claims as his heirs, with assistance from the Legal Aid Department (LAD) and the General Trust Corporation for specific claims. The heirs received several compensations: DM 40,000 for professional harm, DM 116.30 for insurance damages, DM 180 for emigration costs, and a final settlement of DM 130 for the forced sale of the car.
