In 1939 at the time of the wholesale confiscation of Jewish property carried out by the Nazis in Munich, BUCHNER took his turn, after POSSE, in choosing for his museums from the pictures which had been taken. He says that the confiscations were the result of a HITLER order according to which all Jewish collections were to be put at the disposal of prof. POSSE so that he could choose from them for the Linz Museum. (English)
