In the War Damage Report as of August, 1945 submitted by Mavro Benau, son of
Ignjat, a clerk employed in the Ministry of Finance of the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia,
residing in Knez Danilo Street No. 21, the inheritor of the damaged party, it was stated that
the damaged party Edita Nojbah, daughter of Hugo Nojbah, age 30, pharmacist, a permanent
resident of Banjaluka – Bahtijarevića Street No. 4, the Jewess, during the German occupation
as of April 15, 1941 that the German and Ustashe authorities caused the damage by
destruction and confiscation of the property (very expensive things prepared for her wedding
and cash as well). The total estimated damage and lost profit were 200.000 dinars according
to the Submitter of the Request and the Municipal Commission.
In the enclosed written Statement Mavro Benau states that before the war Edita
Nojbah, daughter of Hugo, was a pharmacist employed in Železnička Bolnica – Dedinje,
Belgrade. Although she was converted to Catholicism she had to run away when the Germans
arrived. She made her escape to Stojan Bijelić, husband of her aunt and retiree residing in
Bahtijarevića Street No. 4 in Banjaluka. After a while she returned to Belgrade, because she
had all necessary documents and she was enabled to take all her possessions.
At the time of German occupation she had all equipment for a bride because she was
supposed to get marry for a lieutenant. Her trousseau was very expensive… apart from that
she had a lot of cash - about 150.000 dinars. She took it all to Banjaluka… Later on Stojan
Bijelić wrote that the Ustashe took her to the Gradiška concentration camp and all her staff
were taken away and seized. Allegedly, she was shot by a firing squad… Estera Nojbah is the
daughter of my sister Herta and I am as her uncle, her closest relative. 1807
