Many have cited Franz Grunbaum’s work as a politically fearless Berlin cabaret emcee of the era as one of the key inspirations for the Joel Grey character in the Liza Minnelli-starrer “Cabaret.'
Archives contain stories from the 1930s involving an arena sadly familiar to business managers: government seizures of entertainers’ assets. But these seizures took place not because of any financial malfeasance, but because the artists were Jewish. As early as 1933,was reporting on music rights organizations fighting over new entertainment industry rules coming out of Germany because “the Nazi powers barred the performances of compositions created by those of Jewish descent.
Unbeknownst to Ebb, the clouded title of the work began to become clearer in 2005, the year after his death. Clearer, but as New York attorney Raymond Dowd can attest, that Schiele, which Dowd continues to fight to have returned to Grunbaum’s heirs — like the estimated 50,000 pieces of Nazi-seized art that have never been returned to their rightful owners — remains surrounded by controversy and unending pall cast by that human catastrophe called the Holocaust.
The recent court rulings are critical, says Dowd, because “these victories provide the kind of clarity that museums and art collectors cannot deny.” Judge Timothy Reif of the U.S. Court of Intl. Trade is one of the two trustees of the Leon Fischer Trust for the Life and Works of, the official beneficiaries of these recent court victories and any victories in the future. Reif began working on restitution efforts as a result of his family’s history with Grunbaum. That history dates back to the 1930s when Reif’s father, Paul, an aspiring musician, was aided by his distant cousin and then-superstar Grunbaum, even collaborating with him.
Gruber calls the events of the past year “the first real success” in the case and says he “expects other works to be returned” as a result of the recent court rulings.
