onboard bailiffs office without having the slightest idea they might be to is your property interest in 200 and crenza street? 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. ringback the files of the risk attrition proceedings are stored here in the attic of what is now the handbook district court. your can new time, so research has them. if you wanted to know how the state pays towards the injured policies and came across the policies sky case, guess what, types of things, and if there's something else, because especially if it's the file with a big strap around it, it must have to open it. when done, and then these photos of the state and berlin with these incredible artworks jumped out of me. that obvious and close to it was an astonishing find technicians who pop because it's very, very rare and restitution files that people still have photos of their properties
7:17 am
and phone images. it took a few photographs, their furniture moved, but it was just so exceptional, but i have to look into it some fine to victims including your hand up. so should ski, there's more stakes than just the possessions i. unconsciously american just need to 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 sca sums of money into life 3rd 5 months issue tag. oh my god, gave it away. close scrutiny and regulation. the quote i think with us in 1965 off to 17 use your honda for should. sky was compton sizes by the federal republic of germany, with 960000 torch marks on condition that she truck also declined a laughable sum compared to the original value of her estate. from a shop p as in file, it was astonishing to me was that the states then actually stepped into the shop.
7:18 am
the death 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, we've done, there are about 100000 buyers in hamburg alone. that's not just a view, doesn't people from some small french group has to be like v, what would have happened? this is active discourse that actually taking the language and listen to this day. many paintings from your hand, a precious because prizes collection a classified as lost and continues to search for them with the help of a little sum in munich. is concerned with more than the value out on 1st interest and so on. if he's interested in his family history and what happened to his grandparents,
7:19 am
especially to his grandmother was small to aunt of heart. these notes he asks himself, is the where have all these objects? golf is on showed us to look at the photos from that time, told the videos, great villain dollar evict these, which was furnished with beautiful objects of art of just thought it was. and where has all of his family history gone? does a gun. so if somebody didn't go she's to complete a lifetime of pain and loss. this chinese put ahead was a quad in paris, an auctioned off by the national socialists to you. i'm the in depend here we have it. i talk one old head items 2 and 666 acquired by the museum of acknowledging or quin. the school board file from from the bid was $505.00 small got them and i chose 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. these in cops with his head was apparently lost on and thus lockwood on them. that was probably due to
7:20 am
a clerical error in the restitution records of 2012 where it was listed as an old heart 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. it should been on loosely stored in a just 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. sure. it's great to finally see it in real life and not just in picture to the now the
7:21 am
long las boot ahead will finally be returned to your hand. up for a sheet skis is the, the museum was pretty familiar with the name. so should ski, because it is already returned 6 objects to its own off to the war, but not the boat to hit the tip from cotton 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 in self cop. so it will cease to dish flu. you see,
7:22 am
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 there are adequate resources, also providence research option. first of all, they committed to this and must honor this commitment to the stone you should put face to move. i noticed the boat ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint efforts of caution chronicle 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 we covered them for thousands of families and people years are not mentioned. so click on support you on this and we're lucky here that

this information after 4 or 56 inquiries, one, not the right away slash the know the wasn't the only work in the cost family's collection. it also increases off of valuable paintings, such as a yap lensky, a clay a role today by a certain that all of these artworks will do to be honest restaurant. but from the historical research institute, fax and files is trying to reconstruct the cruise from umus paintings from the company to state 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, 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,
7:25 am
2 months my calls tax due to yeah. i just make good tires findings or why aren't they telling the truth? and you go to the n dustless stockings. 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 acquired gushing, don't touch actually show us. but that the piece had been stolen. it's are interesting to this day, most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community. a missing millions 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
