Focus cited as just one example the case of Henri Hinrichsen, a Leipzig collector who was said to have died in Auschwitz in 1942. His two granddaughters are still looking for the works taken from him, Markus Krischer, one of the two Focus journalists who broke the story, said in a telephone interview. (English)

The publishing house's 20th century heyday was put to an end as the persecution of Jews in Germany, which had been growing since Hitler was elected chancellor in 1933, intensified. The turning point came on November 9, 1938, the so-called Kristallnacht or Night of Broken Glass, a riot of state-sanctioned violence against Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues. Edition Peters' offices were destroyed, with furniture and equipment thrown out the windows and a mass burning of sheet music, facilitated by a Nazi member of the staff.Soon after, the firm was confiscated by the Nazi regime and sold to a party member for a fraction of its value.

In the last few years, the museum has been involved in the restitution of works from the Heine, Hinrichsen, Kirstein and Sonntag collections. The Heine collection included paintings by Corot, Courbet, Hodler, Renoir and Sisley, and etchings by Rembrandt, which had been confiscated during the pogroms following Kristallnacht in November 1938 and acquired by the museum in 1942. Many works from the collection of the renowned music publisher, Henri Hinrichsen, who died in Auschwitz in 1942, were acquired by the city from 1939 onwards. Some of these works have been returned to his family but others remain in the museum's collection. 105 works by Max Klinger from the collection of the famous publisher, Gustav Kirstein, were acquired in 1939 by the City of Leipzig after Kirstein's widow committed suicide rather than face deportation. These were returned to the surviving family in 2000. The collection owned by the artist Carl Sonntag was confiscated by the Gestapo after his emigration in 1939 and sold at auction in 1941. Six works were purchased at the auction by the City of Leipzig and were returned to the family in 1994. (English)
