Wolfgang and Paul’s younger sister, the dentist Johanna Rosa Meyer-Udewald (born on 24 Sept. 1894), practiced and lived at Hansastraße 21, and in the end also in the building at Jungfrauenthal 22. After her license to practice was revoked, she followed her family to Holland in the summer of 1937 and in Feb. 1940 to Belgium. Two years after the German Wehrmacht invaded Belgium, authorities in Belgium too began concentrating Jewish men and women in camps in July 1942. She was taken to Mechelen (Malines) collection and transit camp in the Dossin military barracks, set up by the SS. The first transport destined for an extermination camp left Mechelen on 4 Aug. 1942; by 31 June 1944 all of the additional 27 transports were to follow. Johanna Meyer-Udewald was arrested and taken to Mechelen on 5 Aug. 1943 where she was placed on the deportation list of Convoy XXII A as number 97. She left Belgium on that transport on 20 Sept. 1943 and arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau two days later. Johanna Meyer-Udewald was killed in Auschwitz. (English)

“Still Life With Portrait,” an unsigned 1906 work that Picasso painted while spending part of the summer in Gósol, a village in the Pyrenees, is being sold as a result of an agreement between the owner, Duncan V. Phillips — grandson of Duncan C. Phillips, the collector who was the founder of the Phillips Collection in Washington — and heirs of Ernst Schlesinger, a collector from Hamburg, Germany, who died in 1925.Mr. Schlesinger left the painting to Johanna Meyer Udewald, a Hamburg dentist who died at Auschwitz. The painting was later owned by several collectors and dealers until 1952, when Phillips bought it.A claim by Ms. Meyer Udewald’s heirs in 2001 led to five years of research across 11 countries, with an unexpected outcome. When Mr. Schlesinger’s will was discovered, it stated that the painting’s rightful owners were not Ms. Meyer Udewald’s heirs. He gave her only a lifetime interest in the painting, after which it was to go to his heirs.In a statement released by Christie’s, Mr. Phillips said: “This painting has been very important to me and to my family for more than five decades. Nonetheless, I would not want to benefit from it at the cost of another family’s suffering.” (English)
