When the National Socialists rose to power, Oppenheimer was persecuted in Germany on account of his Jewish roots, and labeled a “degenerate artist”. His works were confiscated from public collections, prompting him to return in 1932 to his hometown of Vienna. When German troops invaded Austria in 1938, he was forced to flee via Switzerland to the US. Many of his works were destroyed, while others are considered lost. His exile in the US turned out to be very difficult for Oppenheimer; his uprooting led to apathy and a stagnation of his creativity. Max Oppenheimer died in 1954, lonely and impoverished, in New York. (English)
