Content

Pesach Gerszonowicz, residing in Holon, Israel, claimed restitution for jewelry and precious metals seized in the Holzsany ghetto, Poland, during the fall of 1941. He was a bookkeeper at the Jewish People's Bank Cooperative and was forced into the ghetto in July 1941 before the seizure. The file also mentions Gerszonowicz's parents, with whom he lived in the ghetto, but their fate is not specified. Gerszonowicz's residence in Holon, Israel, in 1964 suggests he survived the Holocaust. He was awarded 2,000 DM in compensation under § 44a of the Federal Restitution Law (BRÜG). The United Restitution Organization (URO) offices in Tel Aviv and Berlin handled his case.
