Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Frida Mehrens Jacobsohn, Lutheran, had been married to Leo Jacobsohn, a Jewish citizen of Hamburg. After the war his family tried to claim restitution since Leo perished in Theresienstadt just prior to the end of the War. Despite submitting this claim, she received a notice from the Central Claims Registry saying that while the claim is acknowledged, it relates only to identifiable property and “no further action can be taken at this time.…as the subject matter is outside the provisions of the General Order.”
