On July 12, 1944, he was deported to Auschwitz, where he was murdered in December 1944. Since 2018, a stumbling block in Berlin has been remembering the life and murder of Fritz Smoschewer.

The legal significance of Smoschewers is based on his work on copyright in the Weimar Republic . In an appraisal of his writings from today's perspective, it is stated that Smoschewer's copyright ideas were taken up on a national level during the 1965 copyright reform. At the international level, his views on moral law and his comparative law overviews have been received in US law and other legal systems since the 1950s.
