Dr. Ernst Kauffmann, residing in Ramat Gan, Israel, sought compensation for harm to liberty suffered in Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps between February 1943 and January 1945, and for harm to profession as co-owner of the wine wholesale and distillery company L.H. Kauffmann in Mannheim. Dr. Kauffmann emigrated to the Netherlands in 1935, was arrested in 1943, and after his liberation, he was on an exchange transport to an UNRRA camp in Algiers until September 1945, when he immigrated to Palestine. Following his death in 1956, his widow, Frieda Kauffmann, along with his children from his first marriage, Lea Babette Kauffmann and Bernhard Ferdinand Kauffmann, continued the claims as his legal heirs. His first wife, Recha Erna Kauffmann (née Wolff), died in Muensterlingen, Switzerland, on January 25, 1945, shortly after being released from Bergen-Belsen on an exchange transport. Dr. Ernst Kauffmann's mother, Klara Kauffmann (née Oppenheimer), perished in the deportation during World War II. The heirs also sought compensation for the loss of goodwill of the family business, which initially conflicted with Elias Oskar Laufer, who took over the firm in 1933 following the Nazi boycott. For the harm to liberty claim Kauffmann was awarded DM 3,450, and for the loss of goodwill, his heirs accepted a court-proposed settlement of DM 2,800 in 1969. The case was handled by the URO offices in Tel Aviv and Frankfurt am Main, with correspondence involving the URO office in New York regarding the related claim of Elias Oskar Laufer (p. 91, 99, 127 and more).
