Der Krakauer Maler Józef Mehoffer und dessen deutsch-österreichische Herkunftbim Spiegel von NS-Akten 1940 bis 1941

Abstract

The article renders the heretofore poorly studied actions of the German national-socialist, occupant authorities between 1940 and 1941 targeted at the Cracow’s painter Józef Mehoffer, whose roots were German-Austrian, and his wife. The analysis of German documents collected in the Archive the New Files in Warsaw has clarified many aspects of the life of this wellknown Polish painter. Previously much of this was incorrect, and the documents significantly contributed to the part of his biography during the occupation.
