Otto Heymann, a resident of Haifa, Israel, sought compensation for harm to liberty due to his internment in Sachsenhausen concentration camp from November 10, 1938, to December 16, 1938, following the Kristallnacht pogrom, and in the Theresienstadt ghetto from July 30, 1942, until his liberation on April 22, 1945. He also sought compensation for being forced to wear the Yellow Badge from September 19, 1941, harm to his profession as a textile agent and later as a tax advisor, and the loss of his war disability pension. His brother, Arnold Heymann, had already emigrated in 1937 due to persecution. After the war, Otto Heymann resided in the Deggendorf DP camp until emigrating to Israel in January 1949. On December 22, 1952, he received a settlement of DM 4,950 for 33 months of detention. Following Otto Heymann's death on February 1, 1955, his widow Karoline Heymann, who was also interned in Theresienstadt from July 1942 and forced to wear the Yellow Badge, continued the claims as his heir along with their children, Arje Heymann and Alisa Elsberg. The heirs successfully contested the initial settlement, and on January 12, 1961, the Bavarian State Compensation Office awarded a total of DM 6,600 for 44 months of deprivation of liberty, resulting in an additional payment of DM 1,650. The heirs also received a settlement of DM 24,000 for professional damages on June 28, 1960. The case was handled by the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Munich, with involvement from the Organization of Central European Immigrants (Irgun Olei Merkas Europa) and the World ORT Union. Friedericke Levy (née Liepmann), mother of the witness Irma Levy, was deported to Theresienstadt from Hamburg too.
