Hersz Menaker, born on July 5, 1891, in Wilna, Poland, was a tailor and later a grocery store owner before the war. During the Nazi era, he was forced to wear the Yellow Badge and was imprisoned in the Wilno Ghetto from September 1941 to October 1943, and then in the ZAL Wilna until his liberation by the Soviet army on July 5, 1944. After the war, he lived in the Eschwege DP camp before immigrating to Israel in May 1949. He sought compensation for harm to liberty and health issues resulting from beatings during his imprisonment. Compensation was also sought for the death of his wife, Michla Menaker née Kreuzer, who was shot and killed in the Wilno Ghetto in February 1943. He received several compensation payments: DM 3,000 for 20 months of imprisonment, a lump sum of DM 7,500 for harm to health, and an additional DM 450 for the period he wore the Yellow Badge. The case was handled by the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv (MILTAM) and Frankfurt am Main. Mina Menacker is also mentioned as a victim. She was possibly the applicant's daughter and was deported from Wilno to Zesmir and later to KZ Stutthof. The applicant's son Henoch was interned alongside the applicant and has his own case at the URO, and it is mentioned that he was unable to work after the persecution.
