Oscar Bondy (born October 19, 1870, in Vienna; died December 3, 1944, in New York) was an Austrian entrepreneur and art collector persecuted by the Nazis because of his Jewish heritage.
Oscar Bondy, also known as Zucker-Bondy, owned sugar factories in Zdic and in České Meziříčí in Czechoslovakia, but had his business and private address in Vienna.
His extensive collection of art[1] and musical instruments, which included the portfolio works ("Mappenwerke") of Pieter Brueghel the Elder and the family portrait of Martin Johann Schmidt, was also located in the apartment at Schubertring 3 in Vienna.
[8] After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, his widow Elisabeth fought a long struggle for the return of 2,000 pieces from the collection.
