Content: Klärchen-Edith Schönlank, residing in Jerusalem, Israel, sought compensation for harm to profession. Her claim was based on her employment as a secretary for the Jewish organization Hechaluz in Berlin from October 1933 until she was forced to emigrate to Palestine in January 1937 due to Nazi persecution. Before joining Hechaluz, she worked at the Eschkol-Verlag in Berlin from 1927 until it was dissolved after the Nazi takeover in 1933. After immigrating to Palestine, she worked at the 'Palestine Post' from 1942 to 1958 and later for the Israeli Foreign Ministry. Her initial claim, rejected in 1959, was reopened, and she ultimately accepted a settlement of DM 15,000 under § 31 d BWGÖD. The case was handled by the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Cologne, and Berlin.
