Heinrich Voehl residing in Tel Aviv, Israel, seeks compensation on behalf of his deceased mother, Dora Voehl, for harm to liberty suffered during the Nazi era. Dora Voehl was forced to wear the Yellow Badge in Belgium starting June 7, 1942, was later arrested, taken to Mechelen transit camp, and deported to the east on October 10, 1942, where she perished. Compensation is also sought for harm to her profession as co-owner of the furniture business "Benedikt Voehl" in Gedern, including loss of goodwill, and for punitive taxes paid. Restitution is also sought for the seizure of household items and furnishings, precious metal items, and monetary assets. Compensation is also sought for the loss of a life insurance policy taken out by Dora Voehl with Allianz. Heinrich Voehl also states that he himself was a victim of Nazi persecution; having worked in the family business since 1927, he was severely mistreated by Nazi gangs and held in the Osthofen concentration camp for six weeks in 1933 before being forced to emigrate from Germany in June 1934, after which he settled in what was then Palestine. His uncle and business partner of his mother, Max Voehl, was also severely mistreated by Nazis, which forced him to flee Gedern to Ulm, where he died in 1935. Heinrich Voehl, as heir, was awarded DM 5,250 for his mother's harm to liberty, DM 2,373.58 for the lost insurance policy, and DM 13,716 for harm to her profession. The claim for damages from the looting of the business was settled for a total of DM 25,000. The file mentions the Kristallnacht pogrom as a period when public looting occurred, although the specific plundering of the Voehl business is stated to have happened in 1937. The United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv and Frankfurt am Main, along with the Legal Aid Department of the Jewish Restitution Successor Organization, were involved in the case. Some of the witnesses were likely perpetrators in discrimination and violence against Jews and gave biased testimony unfavorable to the applicant.
