Fischel Silberstein, a resident of Tel Aviv, Israel, seeks compensation for harm to liberty. He states that he was forced to wear the Yellow Badge and was confined to the Białystok Ghetto from August 1941 until mid-August 1943. He was forced to convicted labor and was building a highway from Minsk to Warsaw for the Malachow company. Mr. Silberstein escaped the ghetto during its liquidation and lived in hiding in bunkers and the forests near Tykocin until his liberation by the Soviet army in the summer of 1944. After the war, he stayed in Białystok for about six months before moving to Breslau, where he worked as a baker. He immigrated to Israel in late 1949. The file also contains documents regarding a separate claim by Lejser Olsztejn, a witness in Silberstein's case, who sought compensation for harm to life resulting from his time in the Białystok Ghetto and hiding in the forests near Tykocin. Based on the Bundesergänzungsgesetz (BEG), Mr. Silberstein was awarded DM 2,700 for 24 months of detention, later supplemented by DM 900. For his claim regarding harm to liberty and living in hiding, he received a settlement payment of DM 975 under §§ 43 and 47 of the BEG. Documents also show a payment of DM 3,432.05 to a Lejser Olsztejn in 1975. The case was handled by the United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Frankfurt and Tel Aviv (Miltam), with involvement from the Irgun Olej Merkas Europa. The file documents the applicant's experience of ghettoization in the Białystok Ghetto and his subsequent period of living in hiding (Illegalität).
