4:35 pm
anyone who made the house of germany believe they would be re united with their belongings, provided they had paid the transport in advance. the costs were meant, but many of the crates never reach their owners the attorney to see you. then it was of course, the goal of the national socialists not only took the course of the jewish minority out of the country conflict, but also to completely do single franchise and plunder them financially. and in that respect, respect, there was little incentive to ship them their property in the 1st place and not the hit to shoot. the cost family came from the spot and the old conductor took an early interest in not which he 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 family's odd collection, which was followed by way of handling southwest hall. but that was the promise that they never made it to london. in 1941 had boxes for confiscations,

4:38 pm
the moving company to the moment, it was stored with the bailiff tasked with a drop of auctioning it off. so angry. so it's here and it basically listens who bought what, okay, and for how much gum so that we get an overview of can just to verify sca cove talk to the fuse where they private persons where they dealers feedback because wounds and what happened to the objects and after that was checked and done by top, us yet much like a detective catch from clive. we'll get this over clues in atlanta based on the student gun, some flu tight. and from these puzzle pieces, i think we can trace the task of a lift fan from its starting point or leaving the house to at the point of sales and homburg. now 14 tribal works is a provenance research here with the gym and maritime museum inquiry in the house. and

lines on the feel. ringback 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 to know how the state pays towards the injured parties and came across the pushes ski case. guess what, types of things and if it's something else, 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 a solution to profit 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 of their furniture, move it. 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
4:46 pm
that they had wrong them in 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 a good crew. my god gave it away to close scrutiny and regulation. the quote, i think with you guys in 1965 up to 17 years, you'll have to push it ski was compensated by the federal republic of germany with 960000 torch marks on condition that she truck off the declines a laughable sum compared to the original value of her estate, flemish from even far it was astonishing to me was that the states didn't actually stepped into the show at the depth of private individuals was repaired, but the states. so pretty straightforward. that was a political decision in order to prevent the link. the social discord is age of 12 . 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 was to be able to give you what would

4:50 pm
but not the boat ahead. the chip 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 tennessee itself. go. it'll fish kit this way. you see, 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 in hamburg, was in to ensure that they are adequate resources. also providence research option for as long as they committed to the system and must honor this commitment to the
4:51 pm
stone you should put face to move. i'm just the boat ahead was tracked down, thanks to the joint efforts of caution cottle and mock. it's the fitness piece and titles research projects to be returned the tech job. this is conditions that the impossible can be made possible. obviously we can track down the looted belongings and recover them for thousands of families and people yours are not mentioned. so click on support 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 workers, which would probably be much more difficult to do if they were in private household site. and my friend would like to be up online. but this is the case of the missing e mail. know the painting owned by the cock family. the grandson,
4:52 pm
painstakingly searches for more clues passed through many hands off to being port. my casualty, you as auction christy's, the 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,
4:53 pm
they a certain that all of these artworks will just be honest estrada 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 or 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 my calls tax due 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 the 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,
4:54 pm
but that the piece had been stolen that'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 lives 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. i was 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. i must get a hold of them together like this. and yeah, you can see i have completed just over half of the list and come on just as an
4:55 pm
investment the so my guess would be there's about $2700.00 names in total. and then the loose would 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 cost out collection gone? the grand son will keep searching as long as he can drop me and is often laguna to one 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. will vanish into oblivion, which is on causes of doing good fresh water. up the lights would search for
