here which was the jewish property, was sold with a club like auction in defend people could figure out that's a real loaners, hadn't gone on a holiday or to a health resort. bob and the items belong to jews in the nazis had forced to flee the country with their belongings. putting so quote, a lift fence they hope to build a new loss in exile, but off to the world again. very few of these crates went to the earnest here in hamburg, southwest hall, the thousands of crates were stranded from all over the german rush, the nazis confiscated them and auctioned off the contents codes that we meant to shipment. when tons of the in framing to most of the stone objects,

a still missing the to catch, the tribal is one of the few 100 providence researches in germany. she's determined to result the case of nazi losing once referral, true gym and fashion, the ritual expect, vin, meticulous the vin, russian. that's a step. down to 3000 households were auctioned austin, 100 or more for chicago, and just under 1000 more were auctioned off and paid in the 1st i got phones. and then that makes a total of $4000.00 complete household whose contents were auctioned on strike of funds. and it's easy to see that this amounts to millions of individual items. i'll check the actual libel searches for clues. she's on emissions for justice from you, the families already had
11:33 pm
a hard time leaving their homeland. and once they arrived overseas, for instance, in america, they waited for their belongings to arrive and nothing time. the major goal is to eventually return these objects to their family and inform me and thoughts of a difficult task. and one that the defendants of the families of loan being hoping for mostly in vain. the injustice suffered by the cook family 80 years ago is still in the grandson's mind. today. we're going to be interested in where these objects would. where did my grandparents belongs? and after that process, these questions don't move entries kind of willis. he hopes, client pals research provides answers. hello, hello. good morning. it's nice to see, you know, so it's, it's nice to meet them such as symbolic place. oh yeah. then could use grand
11:34 pm
parents belongings which included the valuable art collection world, also sold in a so called lift fans. this is how many lift vans and crates that your family have as we should buy it for. i know one big ones or then one smaller one lesson. oh yeah i'm cuz that's what i should have been too cheap. so i the nazis rose to pallet in 1933, though hitting his plans for extermination were made clear from the stalls that was still a window of opportunity for the jewish population to leave the country. those who predicted what was coming and could afford to fled abroad. but in 1941, that window close difficult. anyone who made it out of germany believe they would be, were united with that belongings, provided they had paid the transport in advance. the costs were meant,
11:35 pm
but many of the crates never reach their owners. the us about an opportunity to see you then was of course, the goal of the national socialists not only took the course of the jewish minority out of the country conflicts, but also to completely do single franchise and plunder them financially. and in that respect, respect, there was little incentive to ship them their property in the 1st place and not the head. so she, the cost family came from based on the old conductor, took an early interest in not which she bought together with his wife. he died 1933 east children's flight to london, soon to be joined by their mother in law positions which included the family's odd collection which followed by way of handling southwest hall. but that was the promise that they never made it to london. in 1941 had boxes for confiscations, photos of memories,
11:36 pm
documents of lights worth of objects disappeared. so filled. how much the end everything was taken from the that this one such as criminal, terrible foolish. i don't really know where it's bad enough to describe us in the how does the gestapo confiscation goods that we meant to shipping an option to move even use papers, advertised opportunities to purchase cheap goods. i'm calling for the affordable gramaphone and oil painting circuit. 175056 books are shown here in the handbook state archives, kitchen club will meticulously searches through option rig quotes. the nonsense for good bookkeeping gets done. so here we go on and objects the
11:37 pm
individual contents of a live band or neatly listed here. and, and you always had the name of the object, understand this, the name and the name of the person who bought it from us here. for example. it's the museum of technology and what was offered for the object or group of items and question. and it goes on here page by page, this done here from say, art object needs to books. everything was more or less sort insurance like a bed linen and the bed frame, the special on cookware and so on costco. so it's a viable research is funded by the gym and most out foundation. what she seeks to establishes, who was abrupt, who was the behind. and where are the items now from beginning from for lesson to from the beginning of an object journey. because when it left its owners house with the moving company to the moment, it was stored with a bailiff tact was a drop of auctioning it off. well, i'm good for you. and it basically listens who bought what, okay,
11:38 pm
and for how much gum so that we get an overview of can just to verify sca cove talk to the fuse where they private persons where they dealers feedback because wounds and what happened to the objects. and after that was checked and done by top to see a, a much like a detective catch and client will get this all the clues in atlanta based on the student gun, some flu tight. and from these puzzle pieces, i think we can trace the task of a lift van from its starting point or leaving the house as to what the point of sales was and in homburg. now 14 tribal works is a providence research here with the gym and maritime museum in 3 and a half. and the job is to find out was that the items in the museums collection were quad,

11:45 pm
research has them. he wanted to know how the state pays towards the injured policies and came across the policies sky case. guess what? types of huge numbers on this because especially if it's file with a big strap around it, it must, i might have to open it when done. and then these photos of the state in berlin with these incredible artworks jumped out of me, but obviously close to it was an astonishing find technicians who pop because that's very, very rare and restitution files that people still have photos of their property here using the phone images, it took a few photographs of their furniture, move it, it was just so exceptional, but i had to look into it some find. so victims including your honda plus sheets key. there's more stakes than just the possessions unconditional in math. and if you could tell, it was important to, to fix those, but they not only got the property back when the german courts also acknowledged that they had wrong the in isn't. that doesn't always happen because the courts were more concerned with contracts sca sums of money into life. 3rd by month vision for tag
11:46 pm
a good come of that good for the with close scrutiny and regulation. the quote, i think with us in 1965 off to 17 years, you'll have to push it ski was compensated by the federal republic of germany with 960000 torch marks on condition that she truck ofa declines a laughable sum compared to the original value of her estate from a shop human fall. it was astonishing to me was that the states didn't actually stepped into the show at the depth of private individuals was repaired. but the states on this, this way of political forward that was a political decision in order to prevent the link, the social discourse age of 12, we estimate was that there are about 100000 buyers in hamburg alone. that's not just a view, doesn't people from some small french group just to be like a visa? what would have happened? this is active discourse at actually taking the language and listen to this day. many paintings from your hand, a precious because prizes collection
11:47 pm
a classified as lost and continues to search for them with the help of a little some in munich is concerned with mood and then finding out and fresh interest. and so, and if he's interested in his family history and what happened to his grandparents um, especially to his grandmother was more to one of hearts is not to he asks himself is the where have all these objects golf is on child of to look at the photos from that time the total villainous, great villain dollar evict these which was furnished with beautiful objects of artem. oscar started. and where has all this family history gone? does it come from? you didn't go she to complete a lifetime of pain and loss. this chinese put ahead
11:48 pm
was a quad in paris, an auctioned off by the national socialists on to your, on the images. and here we have that. i talk one old head items 166265 acquired by the museum of acknowledging or quinn. the school board file from from the bid was $505.00 small. got them. not too sure. and there's also an invoice to the museum of phonology about him called but later in the postwar period during the restitution negotiations behind them didn't cope with his head. was apparently lost on and thus lockwood on them that was probably due to a clerical error in the restitution records of 2012 where it was listed as an old hodge of london. so when they looked through the record on, because they couldn't find the head and didn't conference before, didn't have the head didn't actually disappear at the end of 2020, it showed up on display in the form of museum as a technology and handbook now named monk it should been on loosely stored in a just
11:49 pm
a few years until it was broken out for an arctic suspicion tribal scene for the 1st time to beautiful as because i think to be honest, i imagined it would be much smaller. it's great to finally see it in real life and not just in picture to the now the long las boot ahead will finally be returned to your hand. up for sheets keys is the the museum was already familiar with the name. so should ski, because it had already returned 6 objects to its own off to the war, but not the boat ahead. the chip from cotton
11:50 pm
climb trees and museums attention to it. this con, plus the end of the object. it can happen that in these large depos objects, it for a very long time before they are brought in for a project. that's the way it works in big museums. we all wish we could simply process it ourselves, but that's and illusions. and so as it would take too much time, it's a lifelong tennessee itself. go a little secret. if you see, i don't find that it's an excuse you want to slip over the daughter of the federal republic of germany committed to caring out this research and the washington declaration. and so it's the responsibility of the state, including the cultural senator and hamburg, was in to ensure that they are adequate resources. also providence research option for as long as they committed to the system and must honor this commitment to the stone. you should put, 1st of all, i noticed the boat ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint. if it's of kitchen
11:51 pm
cloth and mock, it's the fitness piece and titles research projects to be returned the tech job, that's a specialist at the impossible can be made possible. obviously we can track down the looted belongings and recover them for thousands of families and people are not mentioned. so click on support you on this and we are lucky here that mark is a public institution, how many of us group. so it is possible to find these items on us and forces workers, which would probably be much more difficult to do if they were in private household . and my friend is more likely of online, but this is the case of the missing e mail. know the painting owned by the cock family. the grandson, painstakingly searches for more clues passed through many hands off to being port
11:52 pm
my casualty. last auction christy's the auction house also tried to sell it in vain . it was delivered to it by a gallery in keel. eventually it was sold by austria to france, but nobody will say who has it now when hunting, and there's the impression that people are stonewalling. this information is not being laid out in the table. kind of there is no transparency. whereas they only sharing this information after 4 or 56 inquiries, one, not the right away slash the know the wasn't the only work in the caf families collection. it also increases the author of valuable paintings, such as a yup lensky, a clay, a role today, by a certain that all of these artworks will just be honest estrada from the historical research institute. fax and files is trying to reconstruct the cruise from umus
11:53 pm
paintings from the cups the states that the keel gallery claims that it no longer has any documents that could share much on the matcher. as mine off how, from my experience with our dealer archives, i can't imagine that they threw away all their documents in 1980 and they don't have them anymore as an every, our dealer knows that documentation is the be all and end all of their business. so you always know what you had the who you got it from and who you sold it, 2 months my calls tax due to yeah, i just make good tires findings or why aren't they telling the truth and you're able to go through to the and then dustless talked into why are they trying to mislead us and to the time they shouldn't voice the suggest that the people involved knew that there was something wrong with how the painting had to be in acquire testing. don't touch actually show us, but that the piece had been stolen. its are interesting to this day, most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community,
11:54 pm
a missing minions of all, checks, everything that was due to them that they had hoped to take wisdom to begin, the new lines was sold off at options when anyone could get the hands on them, it's a suspicion task. libel is working her way through mountains of files to funds and names of injured parties. as it gets finished after a little over a year of looking on this list. all but i've read the letter and shift a boost of an unusual come. doesn't own goofy so far. this is, that's approximately total $1700.00 names of victims from hom, board from procedures. no, some walk. my candy. i must get a hold of them together like this and yeah, you can see i have completed just over half of the list and come on just as an investment. the so my guess would be there's about $2700.00 names in total. and then the loose would prophecy and the names of the victims will be published in
11:55 pm
a da suffice. only then can the owners and there is a certain times where has the cox out collection gone? the grandson will keep searching as long as he can shop here and is often laguna to one test. initially i'm i said to myself who a different generation doesn't do this anymore. if i don't at least try to get to the bottom of this, nothing will happen. this chapter of history will be buried forever to vanish into oblivion, which is on purpose of doing good. and factual belated search for justice cultural club will work, give up, trying to write the roles of the nazi tyson.
