9:45 am
research has them. you wanted to know how the state pays towards the injured parties and came across the pushes ski case. guess what types of huge numbers on this because especially if its file with a big strap around it, it must have to open it when done. and then these photos of the state in berlin with these incredible artworks jumped out of me and i'll be some comments to it was an astonishing find technicians who pop because that's very, very rare and restitution files that people still have photos of the property of using the phone images, it took a few photographs of their furniture, move it. it was just so exceptional, but i have to look into it to find victims including johan associates, ski, there's more stakes and just the possessions i unconsciously american just to tell her what's important to the fix was that they not only got the property back, but the german courts also acknowledged that they had wronged them in this, and that doesn't always happen because the courts were more concerned with contracts. so sums of money into like a government issued for tag a good come, i'd gate very close scrutiny and regulation quote,
9:46 am

9:51 am
it's the fitness piece and titles research projects to be reached. hi john, this is alicia, is that 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 are lucky here that mark is a public institution slip to. so it is possible to find these items on us and sources and brokers which would probably be much more difficult to do if they were in private household site and befriended more likely of online. but this is the case of the missing email. know the painting owned by the cop family. the grandson, painstakingly searches for little clues passed through many hands off to being port my casualty. last auction christy's the auction house also tried to sell it in vain

9:53 am
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 art 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 to months my calls tap to yes. by side. just make good tired findings or why aren't they telling the truth? and you go to the and then dustless, talked inches, why are they trying to mislead us and to the time they shouldn't boost 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. it's interesting to this day, most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community. i'm missing minions of all checks,
