which included the valuable collection, were 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 on i'm cuz that's what i should have been too cheap. so i the nazis rose to power in 1933. although 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 closed difficult. anyone who made it out of germany belief they would be re united with their belongings, provided they had paid the transport in advance. the costs were meant,
4:35 am
but many of the crates never reach their owners the so i'm not ready to see you. then i was of course, the goal of the national socialists not only to push the jewish minority out of the country conflict, but also to completely disenfranchise and plunder them financially. and in that respect, we just talked, there was little incentive to ship them their property in the 1st place to know the head. so she, because family came from the spot in the old could top to 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 families of collection which followed by way of handling southwest hall. the that was the promise that they never made it to london. and 1941 had boxes were confiscations, photos of memories, documents of life's worth of objects disappeared. so full of money in the

individual contents of a live band were neatly listed here and, and you always had the name of the object list. i'm just in the, in the name of the person who bought it from us here, for example. it's the museum of phonology and what was offered for the object or group of items and the question, and it goes on here page by page. this done here from say, art object needs 2 books. everything was more or less sort insurance like the bed linen and the bed frame, but special on cookware and so on costco. sure, it's a viable research is funded by the gym and most of the foundation which he seeks to establishes who was abrupt, who was the behind. and where are the items now from beginning from for less than from the beginning of an object journey. the test when it left its owners house with the moving company to the moment it was stored with the bailiff tact was a drop of auctioning it off. langley's,

her property was sold off in handbook and an option that last 3 days. how much fail 1500 times the pacha tribal is still amazed by this case today. the come, no, i to people came from berlin from hanover to buy it this auction and they weren't ordinary people. they were people who had been bombed out. they were traders who turned a profit from buying these objects cheaply. i'm of the 1st i go home of to the was your hon associates key wanted to print the back. she had photos to prove what belonged to her, and most would be looted by the nazis, but only a few items were ever returned. and through the tribal is researching the case.
4:43 am
she's painstakingly reconstructing the objects jennings and the hopes of finally sold. in this case of theft, this is not a commission job. it's about jim and kills and justice. in putting on food on this side of pictures shows the furniture from your honda pursuits. keep hell with the corresponding item number in the auction record and put the 2 into them often flushed. idols. punctual coin. much, ma'am bill? this is i'm of now. they're even complete shots of the living rooms. all object is what we also find objects that will respond when the auction record ios portal quite a bit over the few and clicking on that 9. let's take a look at this 11. 09. to find what would it be an, an impact on layout. cool. not a bit of my a crown was bought by maya for 760 like small distances. high smock sets for the price was estimated at $220.00. so that would have been this lamp here
4:44 am
. with the help of the lawyer, johan, to push it ski managed to identify sushi to bargain hunters. they all denied any responsibility. and oh gosh, i don't sophistic, my client does not recognize a duty of restitution they had to do. she acquired all items in question here on the auto at an auction held by the handbook bailiffs office without having the slightest idea they might be too much property, interest in 200 and printer. she basically every file size, same thing. you haven't, i have no more records in special, you're not aware of that. you have, we have nothing at all to do with this summit and something along those lines on the feel. the files of the restitution proceedings are stored here in the attic of
4:45 am
what is now the handbook district court. you have a new title, research has them. he wanted to know how the state pays towards the injured policies and came across the policies sky case. guess about tons of huge numbers on the stick because especially if it's file with a big stripe 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. that obvious and close to it was an astonishing find technicians who pop because that's very, very rare and restitution files. the people still have photos of their property here using the phone images. it took a few photographs, their furniture moved, but it was just so exceptional. but i had to look into it some time. so victims including your hand up. so should ski, 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 you isn't, that doesn't always happen because the courts were more concerned with contracts. so sums of money in the lifestyle examines, issued for tag, oh my god,
4:46 am
gave it away to close scrutiny and regulation. quote, i think with us in 1965 up to 17 years you'll have to push should 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 even far, it was astonishing to me was that the states then actually stepped into the shop. the debt of private individuals was repaired. but the states on this way of political forward that was a political decision in order to prevent the link, the social discourse, edge of golf car, we estimate that there are about 100000 buyers in hamburg alone. that's not just a view, doesn't people from some small french group was to be able to give you what would have happened if there's active discourse at actually taking the language and listen to this day. many paintings from your hand,
4:47 am
a precious because prizes collection a classified as lost and continues to search for them with the help of a little some in munich is concerned with move 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 small to aunt of heart. there's no 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. uh and where has all of his family history gone? does it guns if somebody didn't go? she to complete a lifetime of pain and loss. this chinese put ahead was a quad in paris,
4:48 am
an auctioned off by the national socialists and the images. and here we have that. i talk one old head items 2 and 666 acquired by the museum of acknowledging or quin . the school board 5 from from the bid was $505.00 small got them and that's the issue. 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, they couldn't find the head and didn't conference before. they 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.
4:49 am
it should be on loosely stored in a just a few years until it was broken out for an arctic suspicion. the 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 the sheet skis 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
4:50 am
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 task itself. go. it'll face kit this way. you see, i don't find that. it's an excuse you want to slip over the go to 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 . first of all, they committed to this list and must honor this commit stone. these are put, fix them with. i noticed the board ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint
4:51 am
efforts of caution cottle and mock. it's the fittest piece and titles research projects to be returned. hi john, this is alicia lewis with the impossible can be made possible. obviously we can track down the looted belongings and we covered them for thousands of families and people mentioned for quick ones to put you on this. and we're lucky here that mark is a public institution slip to. so it is possible to find these items on us and sources and workers, which would probably be much more difficult to do if they were in private households. hutton trying to relax, fee of online, but this is the case of the missing e mail. know the painting, it was a cough family. the grandson painstakingly searches for more clues. they passed through many hands off to being port my casualty. last auction christy's the
4:52 am
auction house also tried to sell it in vain. it was delivered to it by a gallery in keels. eventually it was sold by austria to france, but nobody will say who has it now. when hunting and there's, there's the impression that people are stonewalling. this information is not being laid out in the table. and there is no transparency, whereas they only sharing this information after 4 or 56 inquiries, one not right away. like the know the wasn't the only work in the coff families collection. it also includes the author of valuable paintings such as a yep, lensky, a clay, a role today by a certain that all of these artworks will just be honest restaurant. but from the historical research institute,
4:53 am
facts and files is trying to reconstruct the cruise from umus paintings from the cups the states that the keel gallery claims that it no longer has any documents that could shed 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 art dealer knows that documentation is the be all and end all of their business. so you always know what you had, who you got it from and who you sold it to months my calls to do to yeah, i just make good tired findings or why aren't they telling the truth and you're good for your to the and then dustless, talking to 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. touching, don't touch actually show us, but that the piece had been stolen. that's or integrate to this day, most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community. i'm missing minions
4:54 am
of all checks. everything that was due to them that they had hoped to take wisdom to begin then utilize 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 it, and i'm gonna come, doesn't own goofy so far. this is, that's approximately total $1700.00 names of victims from hom, board from procedures. now some walk my candy unless i get a hold of them together like this. 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 needs in total. and then the lucid prophecy and the names of the

victims will be published in a da suffice need. then can the owners, and there is a certain times where has the cox out collection gone? the grand son will keep searching as long as he can drop me and is often laguna to one test. initially, remember 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 to me. this chapter of history will be buried forever to vanish into oblivion, which is on purpose of getting fresh wood up. a light should search for justice catch from clive a won't give up, trying to write the roles of the nazi optimized, the,
