The 21st staged reading of the series »From the files to the stage«. Text/Scene by: Peter Lüchinger. With: Peter Lüchinger, Michael Meyer.

100 Bremen Jews fled to Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay after 1933. The first to flee to Chile were well-known lawyers, including Dr. Richard Hamburger and Dr. Hermann Lehmann, who had their licenses revoked in March 1933. By 1940, merchants, cotton classifiers, saleswomen, and others also chose to flee. The reading exemplifies how the State Office for Compensation dealt with them after the war through several biographies. While claims from lawyers were usually fully granted, women, such as saleswomen, had a significantly harder time obtaining even minor compensation. The expenses for compensation were repeatedly criticized by the public and politicians such as Federal Finance Minister Fritz Schäffer (CSU).
In contrast, Gerhard van Heukelum, Senator for Labor in Bremen from 1948 to 1959, continually advocated for granting compensations to victims of National Socialism.
