Louis Alexander Linton worked in various chemical industry firms in Germany and abroad until 1936, when he was told by his manager not to return from his next business trip as the company would no longer be able to protect him, being a Jewish employee. He went to England in January 1937 and soon found employment as technical advisor and export manager of Fisher's Foils Limited in Wembley. His wife Susan, and their two children Eva Maria (born 1932) and Albert Max (born 1935) followed him in November 1937.
These photographs show the home of a middle class Jewish family in Berlin before the unheaval of the Second World War and were likely used to bolster the family's later restitution claim.
