The Bühler family was prosecuted by the Nazis and, as their Berlin lawyer Tilo Siewer explains, auctioned off their furniture including paintings for very low prices in order to finance their survival and emigration. According to Siewer, the Kunstpalast Museum obtained the "Fruit Basket" in the same year, 1935, through an intermediary. The family learned only two years ago that the painting was in Düsseldorf. Their demand for restitution has been denied because the family had already received compensation. Since this compensation apparently only amounted to approximately 300 Euros, the family now aims for real compensation.
