After the reunification of Germany, the country's authorities decided that those who lost property during World War II and their successors were entitled to compensation.

The house, which was owned by two Jewish women in 1939, was forced to be sold on the eve of the outbreak of World War II. The Jewish women have no direct heirs, as they were killed in a concentration camp.

Throughout this time it was owned by a German family, who will now be forced to leave the property.

Since the deceased have no heirs, the house will be transferred to the ownership of the organization "Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany."

The court rejected a petition for a review of the case filed by the 84-year-old owner of the house and her son, even though the Germans say they will have nowhere to live if they are evicted.
