Ada Rosa Falk, residing in Tel Aviv, Israel, seeks restitution for precious metal items, jewelry, furs, a library, and life insurance policies seized in 1940 in Łódź, Poland. These assets belonged to her parents, Josef Hersch Szpiro, who perished in the Łódź Ghetto on August 30, 1941, and Blima Szpiro, who perished there on August 31, 1943. According to testimonies Josef was physically abused by Gestapo during the search. Ada's siblings, Pola Perla Berger, Jehuda Lajb Szpiro, and Nathan Szpiro, are co-heirs and also victims of Nazi persecution. Ada Falk had lived in Palestine since 1935 but was visiting her parents in Łódź when the war broke out and returned to Palestine in late 1939. The applicants received DM 1,400 for furs and DM 6,000 for jewelry and precious metals in settlements from the Wiedergutmachungsämter von Berlin in 1963. The claim for the library was dismissed in 1967 for lack of proof that the items were brought into West German territory as required by § 5 BRüG. The United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv, Berlin, and Frankfurt were involved in the case. Contains mention of books.
