On April 26, 1938, the “Decree for the Reporting of Jewish-Owned Property” issued by Hitler’s government took effect, requiring all Jews in both Germany and Austria to register any property or assets valued at more than 5,000 Reichsmarks (around $2,000 in American currency of the period, or $34,000 today). From furniture and paintings to life insurance and stocks, nothing was immune from the registry. By July 31 of that year, German finance officials had collected paperwork from some 700,000 Jewish citizens—7 billion Reichsmarks-worth of wealth ripe for state-sanctioned theft known as “aryanization.” (English)

Im Falle der Klausners handelte es sich sogar um eine äußerst repräsentative Stadtvilla in der Fasanenstraße, die später dem Bombenhagel des Zweiten Weltkriegs zum Opfer fiel. (German)
