The inventory, his art works and art collection (600 oil paintings, 7,000 works on paper and copies of old masters) are compulsorily sold off on the 30.12.1938. Since then the works he completed between 1918 and 1938 have completely vanished. At the start of the Second World War the couple is interned by the Nazis in Nice, before being released into a refugee apartment. 1939-41: close friendship with the painter, Pierre Bonnard (1867-1944), who influences his later work. 1943: Maria is arrested by the Nazis and imprisoned in a concentration camp on the Spanish border: Leon is sent to a military camp near Toulouse. Both are able to flee and from then on they live in the underground with the help of the Jewish Refugee Committee in France. After the war ends, the couple lives in Paris, before returning to Vienna in 1950, where they live a withdrawn life. 1956/57: (English)
