The following information concerns one Benjamin Katz, who
may be identical wi th the iDAividual concerniD& whom information was
requested.
Pleter Johannes Kooiman of New York Oity has stated as
folloW's I Nathan btl: and his brother :Benjamin Katz bad been in the
antique business in Holland prior to the begi.oniDg of the war. por
trai ts and paintings were also sold by the Katz brothers. When the
war started Nathan and :Benjamin Katz e:adeavored to leave Europe. Nathan
traveled to Switzerland and secUred permission to leave that count1"1' as .
a resuJ. t ofa transaction he negotiated with German Govermnentofficials
(Nathan Katz did not state the nature of this transaction but iDdicated
that he had given a bribe to influential Germans). Atter }lathan Katz
reached the Un!ted States, he wns able to obtain BenJamin xatz I release
from Holland by giving a financial allowance to the German Govermnent.

Cologne,Komodienstrasse 26.
,
This old-established and leading firm specialises in
Rhineland primitives, 19th C~ntury German art, Dutch painting
and the graphic arts. ' Its clientel~ is mostly drawn from the
Rhineland magnates.
Its owners are said to possess a good
knowledge of their profession and to enjoy a sound reputation.
One of the brothers ABELS was a "Referent l1 for Art-dealing in
, the IILandesleitung", a position he is alleged to have used to
further his own interests. Some of the pictures that passed
through their hands were alleged to be fakes and were the
cause of a lawsuit.

" . It is not clear whether this firm 1s that owned ,by a
Frau Maria (1) ALMAS.
This person (who now trades under her
maiden-name NEUMANN(?), was the wife of a Turkish Jew.
"
1!hough her husband was refused membership of the Reichskammer
, der Bildenden Kiinste ,CRBK), she engaged in dealing without
being a member of the Chamber.
After a severe fine and the
death of her 'husband she was, however, allowed'to join the
lU3K and has now resumed her maiden name. Important works
passed through her hands.
She dealt with HABERSTOCK (qv)

This old established and well known firm had many
international oonnections before the war.· ;rt specialises
in Old Master drawings and holdS frequent sales. In 1939
1940 the sale of an importarit collection of German romantic
drawings including f.ine examples by Friedrich Runge and
Caspar Dietrich, was cancelled as the complete collection
was 'bought by POSSE for the Flihrermuseum at Linzq
. Though at .one time Herr BOERNER se~ms to have been
very anti-Nazi, he is said to have behaved as a very con
vinced member of the NSDAP which he joined in 1933.
He was
on friendly terms with HINKEL, Secretary.,..General of the
Reichskulturkammer, through whom he obtained permission to
- open a branch in Berlin, a project that had been· opposed by

Munich, Briennerstrn.sse 12
. (Tel: 56693)
This old established and well known firm had and
may still have many international connections •. It was
originally founded by Julius BOHLER (1), who died about 1935.
He had two sons. One son, probably called Jul~us, 'Little
Lulu' (3), who was born about .1894, inherited the Munich
firm; he paid frequent visits to England before the war to
buy pictures.
SInce the war, he may have traded in looted
works of art, as a Polish report from SWitzerla.nd., dated.
3 .. 9.44, stated that art treasures from Cracow and probably·
elseWhere were said· to have been in his shop.
The other son,
Julius, 'Lulu' (2) went to Switzerland in about 1910-1912 and
opened a gallery, B~RLER-STEINMEYER, at 12, Haldenstrasse,
Lucerne~FROMl935 it was financed by FISCHER, and is now
said to be called STEINMEYER alonHi a M. STEINMEYER is
-certainly one of the partners. BOHLER also had a branch at
the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Madison Avenue, New York.
The nresent O\¥ner of the Munich firm is said to be
Dr. SAUERMANN (qv) who married BOEHLER's daughter and took.over
the business with . Lutz BOHLER. .. The latter is thought to: have
boen killed during the war.
The firm is said to have worked on behalf of GOERING.

German Government as an agent in this affair.
According
to the same source, in 1943, he opened a gallery and bookshop
in Lisbon, claiming to be a refugee . His grandmother 1s said.
to have been Jewish. He had in his possession, at this time,
howeveI', books,sculptures and paintings to the value of
RM. 500.000.
His partner, a Portuguese subject, LEHRFELD
(qv), placed a large sum of money at his disposal •. He is also
said to have opened a branch in Bucharest.
He is, moreover, stated to be the personal agent of
. RIBBENTROP and GOERING who "are using him as an outlet for their .
w
. ealth, to set up bank accounts· safer than Argentina" • . His
secretary, .who is German, is said lito send information to
GOEBBELS or RIBBENTROP as to the possibilities of selling works
of art in Portugal u •. BUCHHOLZ's brother, now an American
oitizen, opened an art gallery and bookshop in New York or
Washington, and, in close collaboration with his brother, is
alleged to have sold works of art originating from German Jewish
eollectionsor paintings by German Jewish artists.
However,
the Buchholz Gallery in New York is now owned by Curt VALENTIN,
a former partner of the Buchholz branch in Berlin and of the
late Alfred FLECHTHEIM, who is now said to be an anti-nazi and
to have severed all connections with his former partner.

Baden-Baden,. Ludwig-Wilhelmstrasse, 5 •
. Established in Po.ris. many years before the war. His
office lvas at 22 rue de Ri voli and his home. in the rue Vineuse.
During the pre-war: period he probably investigated Jewish collec
tions with a view to future requisitioning •.
During the German Occupation of Fr::mcehe was officially
requested by the German authorities to buy works of art for German
museums as .Well as for members of the Nazi party.
Furnished with
a specia.l· 'Ausvieis', he travelled widely and frequently in France,
especially to the South.. of France; and. early in 1944 he.was·a
Colorielat the German Kommandantur at Nice. He was active on
behalf of his Jevvish colleagues and was apparently concerned as
to the fate of the French Jews whose mass Qrrest he predicted
for the summer· of 1944. He had every re3.son to be well informed
.on this question, as, at tha.t time, he was on good terms with
Dr. LOHSE ·of the Jewish Service, a young man with whose parents
he was on intimate terms.
'
He was a frequent visitor to the Jeu de P~ume where he
chose modern paintings.
Sometimes, looted works of art were
delivered. to his flat or his office.
At the time of tho Dieppe
. landing, special military trucks were placed at his disposnl to
enabla him to evacuate. his art treasure.
In JulY'1944, he is
said to have been able to' transport ::111 his remaining possessions
from France to Switzerland, possibly owing to some connection at .
the fr.onti,er.
A number of his acquisitions, however, went .
direc~.ly to 'Germany.
For, according to a GermJ.n report (11.6i.43),
he rerited a flat for himself and his family at Madr.une JORDAN's,
·W;ilhelmstrs.sse 5, Baden-Belden, which w~s also used for storing
works of art.
Neither the number nor the value of the works of
a'rt stored there :ire .knovm.
on 14.5.44, however, the removal
.firm DEV.ANT, acting on behalf of ROCHLITZ, despatched four cases,
weighing 31 kgs.,to Emil ZAUNKELLER, Todtmoos-Au, Station WehrBaden. on 25.5.44.,. a further six cases (marked .R.B.B. 57,. 59, 58,
30, 22, 9) Wt;;re sent to the same address. Both consignments were
doubtless. designed for ROCHLITZ's flat. On 10.2.44, DEVANT,
.
acting for ROCHLITZ, had despatched an.oil painting (designed,as
fa primitive') and insured for. Rl.JI.25.000, to the Richard WallrafIel
Museum (sic), Flech, Allendorf a.d.Lahn (Hessen-:-Nussau).

Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States, formed in 1998, was charged with investigating what happened to the assets of victims of the Holocaust that ended up in the possession of the United States Federal government. The final report of the Commission, <a href="http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/pcha/PlunderRestitution.html/html/Home_Contents.html"> “Plunder and Restitution: Findings and Recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States and Staff Report"</a> was submitted to President Clinton in December 2000.</p>
<p>Chairman - Edgar Bronfman<br /> Executive Director - Kenneth Klothen</p>
<p>The collection consists of 19 series. The first fifteen series of the collection are composed mostly of photocopied federal records. These records were reproduced at the National Archives and Records Administration by commission members for their research. The records relate to Holocaust assets created between the mid 1930’s and early 1950’s by a variety of U. S. Government agencies and foreign sources.</p>
