Dorotheum. Vienna, Dorotheergasse 17. Most important Austrian auction house. Directed by Dr Herbst, who was an active buyer in all occupied countries.
When the National Socialist regime deprives all Jews living abroad of their German citizenship, the property of the Kraus family is classified as 'property of the enemy'. As a result, it is administered by the 'Verwertungsstelle für jüdisches Umzugsgut der Gestapo' (Gestapo Agency for Jewish Property, or Vugesta), which auctions the looted objects in the Dorotheum auction house or sells them by exhibiting them in Vienna.
Herbst, Dr. Hans. eigentlich "Johann" Herbst, Direktor Auktionshaus Dorotheum, Wien, Haupteinkäufer für Sonderauftrag Linz in Niederlanden und Paris, besonders nach 1943; enger Kontakt zu Frl. Hegeer (?) u. Maurice Lagrand
"During the monarchy, Vienna was the center of the greatest European empire and a great center and market for art," said Professor Herbst, the Dorotheum's chief expert. "The very important active Jewish collectors and dealers were all here. Therefore, the occupation of Austria by the Nazis erased in one stroke the entire Viennese art market. It was a situation that never happened elsewhere — a great art center was, by a single political accident, completely destroyed."
