"The Karl Targownik papers consist of biographical materials and restitution files documenting Targownik’s partially successful efforts to receive compensation for damages he suffered during his internment in the Bochnia ghetto, Płaszów labor camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sachsenhausen, and Dachau. Biographical materials include birth certificates, tracing materials, continuing medical education documentation, and military service papers documenting Karl Targownik’s birth in Hungary, the ghettos and camps he endured during the Holocaust, continuing medical education courses he attended in the 1970s and 1980s, and his unsuccessful effort to be transferred from the U.S. Army Medical Reserve 109 Hospital to the Reserve Selective Service. This series also includes a booklet compiled by Targownik’s daughter including her memories of him, his personal narratives and memories of the Holocaust, tributes to him, and photocopies of clippings about Targownik and the Holocaust. Restitution files include correspondence, forms, instructions, and medical records documenting Targownik’s efforts to receive compensation for damages he suffered during his internment in the Bochnia ghetto, Płaszów labor camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sachsenhausen, and Dachau. He was partially successful at receiving restitution for his claims of Damage to Body and Health and Damage to Freedom, but he was unsuccessful at receiving restitution for his claims of Damage to Professional Advancement and Damage to Property and Fortune. Most of the correspondence is among Targownik, the United Restitution Organization, German consulates, the Landesamt fur die Wiedergutmachung, the Justizministerium Baden-Württemberg, the Landgericht Stuttgart, and various doctors and psychiatrist Targownik consulted, but there is also some correspondence with the Bundeskanzleramt, the Bundesminister fur Wirtschaft und Finanzen, Congressmen Chester L. Mize and William Roy, and Senator Bob Dole. The correspondence documents Targownik’s disappointment with the Wiedergutmachung process, his feelings of continued humiliation and victimization, the deterioration of his health, and broader examinations of the psychological effects of Wiedergutmachung on Holocaust survivors."@eng .
