Hermann (1865-1942) and Antonie (called Toni, 1877-1950) Halberstam were particularly active charitably and culturally. Their extensive art collection included works of German and French Impressionism. They also supported Leipzig artists, such as Eduard Einschlag (1879-1945), who was Jewish himself and was murdered in the Treblinka concentration camp. The Halberstam couple managed to escape, but many of the artworks from their collection are still considered lost today.
