After being stripped of his French citizenship by the anti-Semitic Vichy regime in 1942, Kaganovitch and his wife, Rosy, and their two daughters fled to Switzerland. He returned to France in 1945 and fought a long legal battle to reclaim his gallery on the boulevard Raspail from the Vichy sympathiser who had appropriated it. (English)

Confiscated by the Gestapo for the Einsatzstab Nizza [Nice]. The Gestapo stole this painting in Nice at the Credit Commercial de France on 28 April 1944 deposited there by the Chaleyssin Gallery for Mr. Max Kaganovitch. This painting was in the 1 August 1944 train to Nikolsburg which never left the Paris region. It was located at the Jeu de Paume on August 8, 1945. Although there are no release forms in the postwar French restitution files that signal the formal restitution of this watercolor to Mr. Kaganovitch, other indications point to the fact that Mr. Kaganovitch was busy searching for yet another painting that he had had to forgo during his flight from Paris in June 1940. Hence, one can presume that the French government returned this watercolor to Mr. Kaganovitch. (English)
