Others transited via Marseille and were shipped to Germany. The Ruoms property went straight to Schloss Thurntal in Eastern Austria.

They were stolen from her Paris apartment, various bank vaults and her estate in Boulogne-sur-Seine. The thefts began in earnest in the summer of 1940 and did not stop until midway through 1941. You can find items belonging to Alexandrine de Rothschild in the BoR, Al. R and R collections as well as in the Wbg collection.
