Oskar Bondy was a Viennese Jew, whose large and important collection of paintings and medieval and Renaissance works of art was targeted by the Nazis and confiscated by them in 1938. The most valuable items were taken to Bad Aussee, where they remained throughout the war. Oskar Bondy and his family fled Austria via Switzerland to New York, where Oskar Bondy died in 1944. Following the war (1946) Bondy’s widow, Elizabeth Anna, and other members of the family, then citizens of the United States living in New York, sought legal restitution of the collection. (English)
