Estella Katzenellenbogen was persecuted from 1933 because of her Jewish origins. Increasingly under threat, she initially left in 1936 and spent three years in Switzerland. In 1939 she returned briefly to Berlin before finally emigrating via Geneva and Genoa to the United States in 1940.Her attempt to export the furnishings from her home in Berlin failed. The removal goods were seized and on 4 July 1941 the Gestapo instructed the revenue agency in Moabit-West to “realise the value”. Records compiled by the post-war compensation agency in Berlin show who bought Estella Katzenellenbogen’s property at the auction on 2 and 3 October 1941. (English)
