Content: Dr. Aron Brand, residing in Jerusalem, Israel, seeks compensation for harm to profession. He was employed as a teacher by the Jewish Community in Berlin from 1934 until he was forced to emigrate to Palestine in May 1936 due to Nazi persecution, including a physical assault by Nazis on the street. Born in Ozorków, Poland, on February 21, 1910, he studied at Herzl Gymnasium in Tel Aviv from 1925 to 1927 before moving to Berlin in 1928 to attend university and the Hochschule fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums, graduating as a rabbi in 1933. After immigrating to Palestine, he began working as a teacher at the "Maale" secondary school in Jerusalem in October 1936, where he was still employed as of 1955. At the time of the application, he was married to E. Malka Brand (née Auerbach) and had three children. According to a letter dated October 24, 1958, his pension claim was successfully decided in his favor. The United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem were involved in the case, as was the Beratungsausschuss für Ruhegehaltsansprüche Jüdischer Gemeindebediensteter (Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany) in Bonn.
