Primary Evidence
"The history of Lazard was, however, chaotic. Several times, the saga nearly ended abruptly. In the dark days of 1940, when all "Jewish assets" were seized, when the fabulous collections of the David-Weills were being added to the artistic loot of Hitler or Goering, who could have imagined that everything would restart less than five years later?"

"The David-Weills mainly hosted lunches, especially 'business' lunches. Some receptions, but far removed from the lavish high society dinners of the time."
