Scanned versions of the work are found at archive.org. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) is unaware of any copyright restrictions for this item: A large archive of Hoffmann's photographs held by the National Archives and Records Administration are in the public domain in the US owing to their status as seized Nazi property, otherwise their copyrights would not yet have expired (although the studio closed down after the end of the war in 1945). The production of German cigarette card collector's books/scrapbooks stopped, due to the Second World War, in the early/mid 1940s. The photographs of Hoffmann are copyrighted in Germany until 70 years after Hoffmann's death. They will enter the public domain in Germany only on January 1, 2028.
