Deals with the Aryanization of the S. Fischer publishing house, founded by Samuel Fischer. Describes the steps taken by the Nazi regime against Jewish writers, publishers, and publishing houses. Mentions the bookburning on 10 May 1933 in almost all the German universities, during which also books by two prominent authors published by the S. Fischer Verlag, Alfred Kerr and Emil Ludwig, were destroyed. On 13 July 1933 a "list of undesired literature" was published, containing 24 authors (64 titles) of the S. Fischer Verlag. In the beginning of 1934 the publishing house was transferred to the control of the Reichskulturkammer, while negotiations on Aryanization began. These were concluded in December 1936, when the S. Fischer Verlag was taken over by Peter Suhrkamp. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) (English)

The tale of the recovered Pissarro begins with Samuel Fischer, a prolific art collector and founder of the renowned German publishing house S. Fischer Verlag – which counted Thomas Mann and Herman Hesse among its most famous authors – who purchased the painting in 1907. The painting, which was one of the artist’s last works and was completed when he was confined to a wheelchair in a room overlooking the Seine, is a seminal work because it shows how Pissarro maintained his artistic abilities and aesthetic sensibilities until the end of his life. In 1933, Fischer and his wife Hedwig loaned the Pissarro and a number of other works in their fine art collection to the newly founded Kunstmuseum in Luzerne, Switzerland. This underscores how the family’s patriarch sought to share his collection with the European community and therefore enable others to celebrate in the artistic achievements of mankind. The following year, Fischer died and left his entire estate to his wife. (English)
