July 1936
A Gestapo visit: the threat of arrest and a camp
In July 1936 she and her husband were visited by the Gestapo, who threatened her with arrest and deportation to a concentration camp; they resolved to commit suicide if such a prospect became inevitable. But Kollwitz was by now a figure of international note, and no further action was taken.
