[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 3569779, member: 95174"]It is mentioned in the article. How Hans started shop in USA. In 1938, Hans Schulman graduated the Sorbonne, Paris, and did not return to the family business as Jacques had done, but rather, left to the United States on the outbreak of the rise of the Nazi regime's terrorist campaign against Jews. Funded by his father, he opened shop at 545 Fifth Avenue, New York. As Herman Herst, Jr. relates his personal account in Germany at the outbreak of the Nazi regime Jews were forced to convert their wealth into postage stamps in order to get their money out of the country. With Maurits and Hans working with Americans in the New York Stock Exchange and in the new coin shop in New York it gave the Schulmans leverage during WWII. On July 2, 1943, Morits Schulman was killed by the Nazis during WWII. With Hans in New York it left his nephew, Jacques Schulman III to serve as the business manager.
