After the deaths of her mother and father in 1834 and 1938, respectively, Klara Berliner turned the family home, Villa Simon in Hannover, into a refuge for relatives and other Jews. Klara was forced to sell the house in 1941 at far less than its pre-war value. On March 16, 1943, Klara was transported to Theresienstadt Concentration Camp where she died less than a year later. Any money Klara had made from the sale of the villa was consumed by the State Finance Administration or confiscated upon her deportation, and the house became the property of the city of Hannover. The house was returned to the family in 1952; the family then turned it over to the state of Lower Saxony, which ceded it to the University of Hannover.
