One of the most challenging and complex cases which we have ever worked on came from an Austrian notary public, who needed our help to find the heirs of a Jewish concentration camp survivor.

We looked into different files and soon found out that the legator had had a brother whose fate, however, was completely unknown. We assumed that the brother had not survived the Holocaust due to his religion. When studying the lists of victims we did not find the brother’s name, which led us to believe that the brother of the deceased had managed to survive the war.

We knew that the brother was 16 years old when Hitler came to power and assumed that he might have emigrated to the USA or Israel, but could not find proof thereof in any relevant database.
