English translation – journalism:

King of the Lions: The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation is returning eight artworks to the heirs of publisher Rudolf Mosse. A search for clues.

When the National Socialists came to power in 1933, Felicia and Hans-Lachmann Mosse just wanted one thing: to get out of Germany. They already left in the first half of 1933. First, they went to Switzerland, then to the USA. They left despite the fact that Lachmann-Mosse had just initiated bankruptcy proceedings for the financially stricken publishing house; and despite the fact that they owned buildings in Berlin, as well as a valuable art collection, inherited from Felicia’s father Rudolf Mosse, one of Germany’s most important publishers.
