[2] With the Anschluss, or annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany in March, 1938, the possessions of Alphonse and Clarice de Rothschild were seized and expropriated almost immediately by Nazi forces. The contents of their library were taken directly to the Nationalbibliothek, or National Library. This book appears in a 1948 list of books returned from the library to Clarice de Rothschild, kindly provided by Margot Werner of the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.
