Müller, Melissa 1967- (Author). Blubacher, Thomas, 1967- (Added Author). Schnabel, Gunnar, 1962- (Added Author). Tatzkow, Monika. (Added Author).

Summary: From 1933 on Jewish collectors were under extraordinary pressure from German official and unofficial sources to surrender their priceless collections. Collectors reluctantly agreed to one-sided sales of masterpieces at ludicrously low prices in exchange for a precious exit permit for themselves or a member of their family. This book traces the dispersal of these collections and follow the fate of the collectors. Inevitably, their collections were confiscated by German officials (Jacques Goudstikker), sold by Nazi party member art dealers (Cassirer) or seized for state collections (Bloch-Bauer).
