Nazi era Of Jewish origin, Weinstein was persecuted by the Nazis after Austria's Anschluss with Nazi Germany in 1938. Weinstein fled to London and returned to Vienna after the end of the war. In 1938 Franz Bock took over the provisional management of the company "Leopold Weinstein & Co. In 1938 some paintings from Weinstein's collection were "seized", among them by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and von Alt. These were consigned to the Wiener Städtische Sammlung and the Landesmuseum Joanneum. In January 1939 Karl Wagner, director of the Städtische Sammlungen / Historical Museum of Vienna requested art objects from the Aryanized collections of Leopold Weinstein, as well as from the collections of Oskar Bondy, Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer and Serena Lederer.
