Here is a page from the book, about the conditions of the contract, and a page of letters to the Guggenheim with Bauer Bauer notes. (Open in separate window)
For life maintenance and after the death of all property Bauer passed to the Fund. Guggenheim money invested in the Chilean mines and they Bauer drip of 5%per annum.

On the one hand, the Guggenheim Bauer saved from death - or in a concentration camp in Germany, or in prison, Saratov, conditions which he offered in return, a luxury home on the ocean and a very decent - 1000 dollars a month before the war is a huge amount of money, probably more than 100 thousand dollars in today's terms - life annuity.
On the other hand, Bauer wanted more, just wanted a luxurious life-for example, he ordered a car to order, own design, which cost more than 12 thousand dollars (Ford-T like 300 dollars worth? Correct, I do not remember), he evaluated his paintings in three times more expensive, and some do not want to sell.
This machine, incidentally, sold recently at auction for 2.5 million dollars
 Therefore, the contract and is now mixed feelings, like-"Girl, you want your severed head or go to the cottage?"
