Details on the funeral from the Jewish Community of Berlin website: "The world-renowned painter and honorary citizen of Berlin was the long-time president of the Prussian Academy of Arts. When he was laid to rest on February 11, 1935, a bad omen was already hovering above Berlin’s Jewish population – also evidenced by the fact that only 38 mourners signed the condolence book. State dignitaries and officials of the various associations of the arts stayed away from the burial ceremony."
