When the Nazis came to power the departments stores the Tietz founded were Aryanized, that is forcibly transferred to non-Jewish owners.[4] The Tietz department stores became part of Hertie, KaDeWe.[5][6]
Postwar claims were filed by the Tietz family concerning the expropriation of property under the Nazis.[7]
