Hans Jehuda Weiss residing in Yavniel, Israel, seeks compensation for harm to profession as a former teacher, cantor, and preacher for various Jewish communities in Germany, whose career was interrupted by Nazi persecution. The applicant also seeks compensation for harm to liberty due to his arrest during the November Pogroms of 1938 and imprisonment in Buchenwald concentration camp, as well as forced internment in the Shanghai Ghetto from 1943 to 1945, and for harm to health resulting from illnesses contracted during persecution. Following his death on April 13, 1982, his heirs continued the claim. The applicant was the sole survivor of his entire family. Born in Bromberg on July 15, 1911, he was forced to emigrate after his release from Buchenwald and fled to Shanghai in May 1939, where he remained for ten years before arriving in Israel in February 1949. Based on a decision from July 22, 1957, under § 31d of the BWGÖD, the applicant was granted a monthly compensation of DM 238.93, effective from October 1, 1952, which was later adjusted, and a back payment of DM 14,207.23. The case was handled by the URO offices in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and New York, with involvement from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany in Bonn, the American Federation of Jews from Central Europe in New York, and the URO office in Frankfurt a.M.
