Eugen Buchthal and his family were persecuted by the National Socialists because they were Jewish. The eldest son Hugo, who had studied under Panofsky, emigrated in 1934 to London, where he worked at the Warburg Library, followed by the daughter Anne Gerda in April 1936 and, later, the youngest son, Wolfgang. In May 1936, Buchthal sold the family residence at 22 Lindenallee, but continued to live there until he emigrated. He had already delivered a large number of graphic works from his art collection to Galerie Nierendorf in the January of that year. Some of them were acquired in the same month by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. In 1938, Buchthal and his wife finally emigrated to London, where he died in 1954. The Kupferstichkabinett had purchased sixteen works from Eugen Buchthal's collection through Galerie Nierendorf. Some of them were seized in 1937, in the course of the Nazis' 'Degenerate Art' campaign, so that today only nine still exist: two lithographs by Erich Heckel, three etchings by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, an etching by Paula Modersohn-Becker, a woodcut by Emil Nolde, a lithograph by Otto Müller, and an etching by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
