After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the Rothberger family were persecuted as Jews. Fritz Rothberger, who was on a research trip in Warsaw, did not return to Vienna and emigrated in 1939 to Britain and from there in 1940 to Canada. In early summer 1938 Hans Rothberger was arrested and interned at Dachau. While the company was Aryanized, the family was put under increasing pressure to liquidate their reserves and sell their assets. On 18 and 19 November 1938, ninety-five porcelain objects belonging to Heinrich Rothberger were auctioned at Auktionshaus Hans W. Lange in Berlin with the proceeds being used to pay the compulsory levies. (English)
