Ester Anusch Witzinger, née Herschko, residing in Hadar Ramatajim, Israel, sought compensation for various damages stemming from her persecution during the Holocaust. Born in Maly Ujlak, Czechoslovakia, Ester worked as a furrier's assistant before being imprisoned in the Kisvárda ghetto in April 1944. She was subsequently deported to Auschwitz, where she underwent the selection process and was separated from her parents, Lajos and Fanny Herschko, and four siblings, who were murdered. Her brother, Bela Herschko, perished in the Hungarian forced labor service, while two other siblings, Jizchak Herschko and Roszi Weiner, survived. From Auschwitz, Ester was transferred to Dachau-Kaufering (prisoner Nr 86567) and then to Bergen-Belsen (since 17.12.1944), where she remained until her liberation by English troops 15. April 1945. After the war, she stayed at the Bergen-Belsen and Ainring DP camps before being interned in Cyprus and finally immigrating to Israel in December 1946. Her claims covered harm to liberty, belongings, profession, and health issues resulting from her ordeal. In March 1960, she was awarded DM 1,800 for her imprisonment. In March 1972, a settlement under § 29 BEG granted her a one-time payment of DM 22,918 and a monthly pension of DM 209 for health damages. She was represented by the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv, Frankfurt am Main, and Hannover, with the Association of Exprisoners of Bergen-Belsen and other Camps in Germany also involved in her case.
