Nazi seizure of Fuchs' art collection Fuchs and his wife escaped Nazi Germany in February 1933 via Schaffhausen, Strasbourg and Geneva to Paris. On March 25, 1933, a large-scale Gestapo operation took place at the Villa Fuchs, ostensibly to secure "communist evidence." On October 25, 1933, the Fuchs Collection was officially confiscated, the rooms sealed, and books, posters, and pamphlets taken away. On October 26, 1933, the furniture and the remaining art objects were seized the Zehlendorf tax office. Fuchs' books were banned, confiscated and partially burned.

Provenance research into Margarete and Eduard Fuch's looted art collection From February 2018 to February 2020 and May 2020 to April 2022, research projects were launched to try to reconstruct the history of the Fuchs collection which had been looted by the Nazis.
