Sadly this was the exact experience of my late Grandfather, Herman Buller, a native of Bukovina from Wiznitz (Vyznitsia). He moved to Stuttgart in1929 and left for London on 28th August 1939 with my mother and grandmother. He lost everything and his battle for compensation was stretched out by the German officials through repeated rejections and court case until the late 1960s when he was finally successful and won a pitifully small amount of compensation and died shortly thereafter.
