(LSeyffers) Bruxelles-In the spring of 1944. Léon Seyffers and his family were arrested on June 19, 1944. His belongings including his art collection—personal collection plus residual of his business inventory—were seized “4 or 5 days after his arrest" by the Gestapo. He was later deported from Malines to Auschwitz on July 31, 1944, where he is presumed to have perished. Three paintings were removed from the residence of Gaston Mueller in Brussels. The bulk of his art collection was warehoused at a German-administered site on rue du Transvaal. A number of paintings were recovered at another depot located at 74, rue de Laeken, in Brussels. |
