quotation
The company's doorman turned out to be head of 150 employes who were Nazis. First there were strikes against the Ullsteins, and one of the magazines was suppressed. Then the Government ordered the family to surrender majority control and eventually, in 1934, all ownership.At that time the company was estimated to be worth at least $20 million. The brothers were forced to sell it for a reported total of $3 million to $4 million to a buyer who wwas not named. It was later said that the buyer was Hitler.The money did not last long for the Government applied special levies and fines against the brothers. Hans and Louis died. Rudolf fled to England and Franz and Hermann to the United States. Hermann arrived with less than 84. (English)

quotation
"Aryanization" Through measures to “Aryanize” businesses, the regime also assumed control of Jewish-owned publishing companies, notably Ullstein and Mosse.Ullstein, which published the well-known Berlin daily the Vossische Zeitung, was the largest publishing house company in Europe by 1933, employing 10,000 people. In 1933, German officials forced the Ullstein family to resign from the board of the company and, a year later, to sell the company assets. (English)
