During the Nazi era , Erhard Kupfer was persecuted for his political activities. He lost his job as a union secretary in May 1933 and was subsequently unable to find permanent employment. From May 4, 1933 to June 3, 1933, he was imprisoned in Nuremberg for political reasons. From there he was transferred to the Dachau concentration camp , from where he was released on February 19, 1934. In 1937 he was arrested again and remained in custody in Nuremberg from September 17 to December 4. The term of imprisonment severely damaged copper's health. He never fully recovered from his stay in Dachau concentration camp and died at the age of sixty.
