was a quad in paris, an auctioned off by the national socialists on t on the images. okay. and here we have that. i talk one old head items 2 and 666 acquired by the museum of acknowledging, according to the school board, 5 from from the bid was 505 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 post war period, during the restitution negotiations behind them. these in cups of his 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 of london. so when they looked through the record long, they couldn't find the head and didn't quite finish the phone and had 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
5:49 am
it should be on loosely stored in a just a few years until it was broken out for an arctic suspicion. the tribal is seen for the 1st time to beautiful as because i think, to be honest, i imagine 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, low speed ahead will finally be returned to your hand up the sheet skis is the or the museum was a very familiar with the name. so should ski because it already returned 6 objects to its own off to the war, but not the boat ahead. the
5:50 am
chip from cotton climb, trees and museums attention to it does come close to 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. yourself go, it will cease to dish. you see, i don't buy that. no, it's an excuse. the simple with 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 there were adequate resources. also providence research shown to the long they committed to this just and must honor this commitment to the stone . these are put face to move. i noticed the boat ahead was tracked down thanks to
5:51 am
the joint efforts of caution chronicle and mock. it's the fittest piece and titles research projects to be returned type job. this was this, choose 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 us and sources and brokers which would probably be much more difficult to do if they were in private household size and we're trying to relax, fee of online. but this is the case of the missing email. know the painting owned by the cock family. the grandson painstakingly searches for more clues.
5:52 am
it passed through many hands off to being port my casualty. last auction christy's the auction house also tried to sell it in vain. it was delivered there 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 the kinds of there is no transparency. whereas they only sharing this information after 4 or 56 inquiries, one that right away, like the know the wasn't the only work in the club family's collection. it also includes the author valuable paintings such as a yep, lensky, a clay, a role. today they a certain that all of these artworks will do to,
5:53 am
to be honest restaurant, but from the historical research institute. facts and files is trying to reconstruct the cruise from umus paintings from the cups the states. but 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 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 to do to. yeah. but i just make good tired findings or why aren't they telling the truth and go to the and then dustless talked issue of 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 that's being acquired. discussing, don't touch actually show us what the piece had been stolen. it's are linked to

this day. most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community, 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 where anyone could get the hands on them. it's a suspend task. tribal 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 gift of an unusual come, doesn't over so far, this is that's approximately total $1700.00 names of victims from hom, board from the swedish and those homework. mackenzie, i must get a hold of them together like this. you can see i have completed just over half of the list and come on this as an investment the so my guess would be there's about $2700.00 names in total. and then the lucid prophecy and the names of the
5:55 am
victims will be published in a da suffice lead. 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 destination. remember i said to myself, who are different generations 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 very forever and will vanish into oblivion, which is on purpose of doing good. and 5, for a belated search for justice ketchum club will won't give up, trying to write the roles of the nazi twice
