Heading: Ungaro-Benages's Connection to O&K

Text: 6 Each of Benno Orenstein's four children received an equal share of the family's O&K stock upon his death. One of Benno's daughters, Lili, married and had two daughters, Ursula (Ulla) and Liselotte. Ulla had a son, Peter Ungaro, and a daughter, Ursula Ungaro-Benages (the plaintiff). Liselotte had no heirs and left all of her assets to her sister (Ulla), Peter, and Ursula. The plaintiff now claims to represent, along with her brother, one-quarter of the estate of Benno Orenstein. The plaintiff only learned in 1993 that she was of Jewish descent. She did not discover until 2001 that she was the great-granddaughter of Benno Orenstein. Her grandmother, Lili Orenstein Berliner, did know about the family's history and attempted to ascertain what had happened to her interest in O&K. In 1950, Lili Berliner, through an attorney, wrote to Deutsche Bank requesting an accounting of her assets. Apparently Lili Berliner and her attorney took no further action. The plaintiff maintains that the bank did not provide any information and alleges that it still has failed to account for the assets. 7
