7:36 pm
a month in the end, everything was taken from the doctor's showing that his criminal, terrible, foolish. i don't really know where it's but enough to describe us in the hub is the gestapo confiscated goods that we meant to shipping an option to move even use papers, advertised opportunities to purchase cheap foods. i'm call for the affordable gramaphone. and oil painting circuit. 175056 books. in the handbook states, archives kitchen. clive of meticulously searches through option rig quotes, the knots for good keeping. keep central. so here we go on to and objects the

7:44 pm
with the help of the lawyer, you'll have 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. i mean auto at an auction held by the onboard bailiffs office without having the slightest idea they might be chosen property and this was item 100 credit sheet. basically every file size, same thing you have, i have no more records on 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 what is now the handbook district court. your new tyco research has them. he wanted
7:45 pm
to know how the state pays towards the injured parties and came across the pushes ski case. guess about tons of huge numbers on this because especially if its 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. that obvious and close to it was an astonishing find to send to profit 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, their furniture moved, but it was just so exception, but i have to look into it some fine. cool. so the victims including your hand up. so should ski, there's more stakes and just the possessions i unconsciously man and just need to tell it was important to, to fix those. but they not only go through the property back, but the german courts also acknowledged that they had wrong 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 of that gate between close scrutiny and regulation. quote. and i think
7:46 pm
what you get in 1965 off to 17 years, you'll have to push it. sky was comp and 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. finish appealing, fine was astonishing to me was that the stapleton actually stepped into the show. the debt of private individuals was repaired, but the states on this way of political fort that was a political decision in order to prevent the link. the social discord is a draft off tom. 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 wants to be able to view what would have happened if this active discourse had actually taken the language and listen to this day. many paintings from your hand, a precious goose process on collection. a classified as lost
7:47 pm
and continues to search for them with the help of a little some in munich is concerned with more than their value out of interest, interest and sign. if he's interested in his family history and what happened to his grandparents, especially to his grandmother was malta, aunt of hearts is not. he asks himself, is a, we're have all of these objects. golf is on child of to look at the photos from that time to turn the videos great village dollar evict these, which was furnished with beautiful objects of artem to started. and where has all of his family history gone? does the guns if somebody didn't receive to complete a lifetime of pain and loss? this chinese boat ahead was a quad in paris, an auctioned off by the national socialists and the images. and here we have it. i

talk one old head items 2 and 666 acquired by the museum of ethnology, or the school board file from from the bid was 500 hikes small. got them. i'm 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 rest of the teacher negotiations behind them. these and called for this head was apparently lost on and thus lockwood on them. that was probably due to a clerical error in the rest of teaching records of 2012 where it was listed as an old heart. so when they looked through the record long, they couldn't find the head and didn't quite finish the phone and had but the head didn't actually disappear. at the end of 2020 it showed up on display in the form of museum is acknowledging and handbook now named monk. it should been on loosely stored in a just
7:49 pm
a few years until it was broken out for an arctic suspicion. pliable seeing it 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. appreciated skis is the, the museum was a pretty familiar with the name. so should ski, because it has already returned 6 objects to its own off to the war, but not the boat to hit the chip from cotton climb through the museums attention to it. this contest,
7:50 pm
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 and big museums, we all wish we could simply process it ourselves. but that's an illusion, i'm sorry, as it would take too much time. it's a lifelong policy itself. it will cease to dish. you see, i don't buy that. no, it's an excuse the slip of adults with 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 this then must honor this commit. stone. these are put, fix them, which i did was to the board ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint efforts of caution chronicle and mock. it's the fittest
7:51 pm
piece and titles research projects to be returned the heck. yeah, this is conditions 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're lucky here that mark is a public institution slip to. so it is possible to find these items on some 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. it passed through many hands off to being port my casualty. last auction christy's the auction house also tried to sell it in
7:52 pm
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, there's the impression that people are stonewalling when this information is not being laid out in the table. there is no transparency, whereas they only sharing this information after 4 or 56 inquiries, one at the right away. like the know the wasn't the only work in the cost family's collection. it also includes just off of valuable paintings such as a yap lensky, a clay a role. today they 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
7:53 pm
company to state that the keel gallery claims that it no longer has any documents that could shed much on the matcher of 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, 2 months back, hullstead to yes, my sites just make good tires vollings or why aren't they telling the truth? and you go to the and then dustless talked interesting. 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 the choir. touching, don't touch actually show us what the piece had been stolen. and linked to this day, most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community. i'm missing minions

a search declines where has the cox out collection gone? the grandson will keep searching as long as he can is up here and is often really doing a 21 test. initially i'm i said to myself who if a 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 fire, is doing good. 5 for a belated search for justice ketchum club will won't give up, trying to write the roles of the nazi optimized, the,
