Raphael Panzer of Raanana, Israel, a former merchant from Magdeburg, Germany, sought compensation for professional damages after being forced to abandon his textile and wholesale businesses and emigrate in August 1933 due to Nazi economic boycott and persecution. He fled to France, where he stayed for about ten months before immigrating to Palestine in May 1934. Mr. Panzer also claimed compensation for damage to property, including household goods and business inventory that were either sold under duress or left behind, and for damage to assets, such as the loss of business debts and the costs of emigration for himself, his wife Dora, and their son. Additionally, separate claims were pursued for health issues sustained by both Raphael and Dora Panzer, with Dora also seeking compensation for her own professional damages. After arriving in Palestine, Mr. Panzer worked various jobs, including as a construction worker, locksmith, and eventually as a scrap iron dealer. Dora Panzer's health claim was linked to the trauma of her illegal escape from Germany with her young son in 1933 and learning after the war that her mother and two siblings had been murdered by the Nazis; her mother perished in Auschwitz, where her jewelry and valuables were confiscated. Raphael Panzer was initially awarded capital compensation for professional and property damages, which was later converted into a monthly pension, and a court settlement awarded him an additional 3,000 DM for lost business assets. Dora Panzer's claim for health damages was ultimately rejected as it was filed after the legal deadline. The United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv and Hannover handled the claim, with medical documentation provided by the Kupat Holim Amamit (People's Sick Fund), founded by Hadassah, and a certificate from the Palästina-Amt in Magdeburg confirming his 1933 emigration application.
