Henryk Wachs (had also the last name Postel), residing in Rehovot, Israel, claims compensation for harm to his health, specifically for the loss of a left big toe, circulatory problems in the skin after frostbite, and a scar after a bullet injury in the left buttock, suffered during his escape from Nazi persecution. Wachs also seeks compensation for his professional losses as a physician due to his injuries and subsequent inability to re-establish his practice, and for the loss of earnings due to the aforementioned health issues. Wachs, forced to wear the Yellow badge, was imprisoned in the Zhovkva Ghetto from July 1941 to February 1943, later hiding in the Warsaw Ghetto until April 1943, and then in the forests around Dolina. After escaping to Hungary, he was interned in a forced labor camp in Pais or Fais until October 1944, and was subsequently imprisoned in the Vámosmikola concentration camp and the Ganacker camp until his liberation. After the war, Wachs lived in DP camps in Eggenfelden and Eichstätt before emigrating. Wachs's daughter, Rita Schenirer, claimed compensation for damage to her education and professional advancement. Wachs's father, Max Meir Wachs, a physician, practiced medicine in Vienna and later Zhovkva. Wachs's mother, Friederike Wachs, is mentioned. Wachs's wife, Malwine Wachs, survived and filed her own restitution claims. In 1965, Wachs received DM 3,304 in compensation for the loss of his toe and circulatory problems, DM 1,456 as back payment for a pension, and later DM 45. Legal basis included articles VIII, 171, 189a, 206, 207, 209, 210, 225, and 261b of the BEG. The URO offices in Munich and Tel Aviv, along with Miltam, were involved. In the file, there are documents discussing the question of whether the applicant and his family belonged to the German-speaking circle and German culture. Malka Sternfeld is mentioned on p. 151, Gottesman Gerson on p. 366.
