justice. from you, the families already had a heart, i am leaving their homeland and once they arrived overseas, for instance, in america, they waited for their belongings to arrive and nothing time. the major goal was to eventually return these objects to their families and from the info took him a difficult task, and one that the defendants of the families have long been hoping for mostly in vain. the injustice suffered by the cook family 80 years ago is still in the grandson's mind. today. we're going to be interested in where these objects would. where did my grandparents belongs? and after that process, these questions don't come on. most of these kind of willis. he hopes client pals research provides answers. hello, hello. good morning. it's nice to see, you know, so it's,

3:21 am
anyone who made it the house of germany believe they would be re united with their belongings, provided they had 8 transport in advance. the costs were meant that many of the crates never reach their owners. the fun to see you 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. he's children's flight to london, soon to be joined by the mother in law positions which included the family's odd collection which 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,
3:22 am
photos of memories, documents of lights worth of objects disappeared. so full of money in the end, everything was taken from the doctor's showing such as criminal, terrible foolish. i don't really know where it's but enough to describe us in the hub is the custodial confiscation goods that we meant to shipping an auction to them off even use papers, advertised opportunities to purchase cheap goods. i'm calling for the affordable gramaphone and oil painting circuit. 175056 books are shown here in the handbook state archives, kitchen club will meticulously searches through option recall. it's

not a good bookkeeping to so here we go and send an object. the individual contents of the list then were neatly listed here and, and you always had the name of the object. next, i'm just in the, in the name of the person who bought it from us here. for example. it's the museum of death, knology. and what was offered for the object or group of items in question. and it goes on here page by page this down here. from say our object needs to bugs. everything was more or less sort insurance like the bed linen and the bed frame, the special on cookware, and so on costco. sure, it's a viable research is funded by the gym and most out foundation. what she seeks to establishes, who was abrupt, who was the behind, and where are the items now, from beginning from for lesson to, from the beginning of an objects journey. the cache when it left its owners house
3:24 am
with the moving company to the moment, it was stored with a bailiff tact was a drop of auctioning it off one of these sorts here. and it basically listens who bought what, okay, and for how much gun. 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 to see a much like a detective catch from clive. we'll get this over clues in a database, and i'm just using done 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 can homburg now. 14 tribal works is a provenance research here with the gym and maritime museum in 3 and a half. and the
3:25 am
job is to find out was that the items in the museums collection were quad, legally. the nazis also auctioned off personal effects from jewish households. he implement that's how club and 1st became aware of this injustice a tablet as me off the phone. that's it struck me that's a small topic of jewish microns property being auctioned off in freeman and homework and has a number where we've been dealt with. i just confesses miss bravo, who bought which items that these auction it's all a forced validation gigs. this has never been researched because even though it were all in the document and not from d, as in papa, the grandson persisted and managed to find clues leading to a painting once owned by his family. boss with puppies by know, the tires are definitely done. this individual group does set
3:26 am

3:28 am
belonged to her and most would be looted by the nazis. but only a few items were ever returned. and through the tribal is researching the case. she's painstakingly reconstructing the objects, journeys, and the hopes of finally sold in this case of theft. this is not a commission job. it's about jim and kills and justice. in putting on food on this side of pictures shows the furniture from your honda pursuits. keep hell with the corresponding item number in the auction record and puts you into the lofton flushed idols patrol coined much mine bill because i'm of now they're even complete shots of a living rooms. all object is we also fund objects that worse bond with the auction record. i was portable quite a bit of it a few and clicking on that 9. let's take a look at this 11. 09 sign. what would it be? an interview, done layout. cool. not a bit of my a crown was bought by maya for 760 like small distances,
3:29 am
price lock set for the depth of the price was estimated at 200. this is done with, with to so that what has been this lamp here? with the help of the lawyer, you'll have to push it ski managed to identify pushy 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 choose your property and just i'm 200 credit sheet. basically every file size, same thing you haven't, 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
3:30 am
the feel. the files of the rest attrition proceedings to 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 about tons of huge numbers on this because especially if its 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 situations who 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 of their furniture, move it, it was just the exception, but i have to look into it to find copeland. 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 their property back when the german courts also acknowledged
3:31 am
that they had wrong the in isn't. that doesn't always happen because the courts were more concerned with contracts sums of money into like a government issued for tag. oh my god, gave it a very close scrutiny and regulation quote. i think with you guys in 1965 off to 17 use johan to push it. ski was compensated 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 here on file, it was a solution to me, was that the states didn't actually stepped into the show at the depth 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 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 has to be able to give you what would
3:32 am
have happened if there's active discourse at actually taking the language and listen to this day. many paintings from your hand. a precious gets processed on collection a classified as lost and continues to search for them with the help of a little some in munich is concerned with more than the value out on 1st interest. and so, and if he's interested in his family history and what happened to his grandparents um, especially to his grandmother was small to aunt of hearts. it's not true, he asks himself, is a where have all these objects golf because i'm child of to look at the photos from that time, the total villainous, great villain dollar evict these which was furnished with beautiful objects of artem, oscar started. and where has all this family history gone? does it come from? you didn't receive to complete
3:33 am
a lifetime of pain and loss. this chinese put ahead was a quad in paris, an auctioned off by the national socialists here on the india. and here we have it . i talk one old head items 16626, acquired by the museum of acknowledge equal to the school board 5. and 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. didn't cops with his head was apparently lost on and thus lockwood on them? that was probably due to 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 quite finish the phone and have the head didn't actually disappear. at the end of 2020, it showed up on display in the form of museum as acknowledging and handbook now
3:34 am
named monk. it should been on loosely stored in addition to the 80 years until it was broken off for an arctic suspicion . the tribal scene for the 1st time to beautiful as because i fixed 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 long las boot ahead will finally be returned to your hand. up for sheets skis is the the museum was already familiar with the name, so should ski because it had already returned 6 objects to its own off to the war.
3:35 am
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 task. yourself go, it'll face to dish. you see, i don't find that. it's an excuse you want to slip over the door to the federal republic of germany committed to caring out this research and the washington declaration. and so into the responsibility of the state, including the cultural senator and hamburg, was in to ensure that there were adequate resources. also providence research shown . first of all, they committed to this list and must honor this commit to 3 stone. these are put,
3:36 am
fix them with. i noticed the boat ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint efforts of caution chronicle and mock. it's the fittest piece and titles research projects to be returned. tech job. 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 household site. and my friend would like to be of online. but this is the case of the missing e mail. know the painting owned by the cock family. the grandson,
3:37 am
painstakingly searches for more 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 . 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 the 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 coff families collection. it also includes the author of valuable paintings such as a yap lensky, a clay, a role. today they
3:38 am
a certain that all of these artworks will do to be honest restaurant, but from the historical research institute. fax and file 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 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 to months my calls to do to yeah, i just make good tired findings 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 acquire testing. don't touch
3:39 am
actually show us, but that the piece had been stolen that'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 regents the letter and shift a boost of and i know come, doesn't oversee are so far. this is that's approximately total $1700.00 names of victims from hom, board from the swedish and those homework. 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 little
3:40 am
as i said in the so my guess would be there's about $2700.00 needs in total and then, or the lucid prophecy and the names of the victims will be published in a da suffice. only then can the owners, and there is a certain times where has the cox out collection gone? the grand son will keep searching as long as he can shop here in his office. then the 21 presentation to me on my 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. a part of this chapter of history will be buried forever and will vanish into oblivion, which is on purpose of doing good and fast food. a belated search for
