During World War II, Zak’s gallery was seized by the occupying Nazi government in February–March 1941 and its contents sold. In addition, twenty artworks Zak had deposited in a bank in Nice, presumably early in the war, were confiscated by the Gestapo in 1944. Zak was deported to Drancy and from there to Auschwitz in November 1943 (registered with the name Hedwig Zack), where she was killed. (English)
