The book 'Simpson Lugers' briefly covers some of it.

I don't have the book. The sources I Googled only briefly dwelt on the company itself (or the company formed after the Soviets turned it back over to the private sector) and there is nothing about reparations to the Simson family, or if control/ownership was restored to the Simson family following the Nazi and Soviet 'nationalization'.

There is only brief mention of Löb and Moses Simson and nothing about their descendants (if any). I have wondered if any survived the mass arrests and incarceration and of course the war itself. Also if the Soviets persecuted the family.

A sad story.
