action that's a step down to $3000.00 houses were auctioned off and home board more frustrated and just under $1000.00 more were auctioned off and paid in the 1st i got phones and then that makes a total of $4000.00 complete household for whose contents were auctioned on strike of funds. and it's easy to see that this amounts to millions of individual items. i'll check the actual libel searches for clues. she's on emissions for justice from you. the families already had a hard time 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 is to eventually return these objects to their family, everything for me and thoughts of a difficult task. and one that the defendants of the families of loan being hoping for mostly in vain. the injustice suffered by the cook family, 80 years ago, is still in the great in son's mind today was in to be interested in where these
7:05 am
objects would. where did my grandparents belongs? end up along that process. these questions don't get me on moment kind of willis. he hopes client pals research provides answers. hello, hello. good morning. it's nice to see, you know, so it's, it's nice to meet and such a symphonic place. oh yeah. then could use grand parents belongings which included the valuable on collection. we're also sold in a so called lift fans. this is how many lift vans and crates that your family have. you should buy it for. i know one big ones or then one smaller one lesson. oh yeah i'm cuz that's what i should have been too cheap. so i the nazis rose to pallet in

1933. the witness plans for extermination were made clear from the stalls that was still a window of opportunity for the jewish population to leave the country. those who predicted what was coming and could afford to fled abroad. but in 1941, that window close difficult. anyone who made the house of germany believe they would be, were united with their belongings, provided they had paid for transport in advance. the costs were meant, but many of the crates never reach their owners. the us about an opportunity to see you was of course, the goal of the national socialists not only to push the jewish minority out of the country conflict, but also to a completely different franchise and plunder them financially. and in that respect, respect, there was little incentive to ship them their property in the 1st place,
7:07 am
so nothing to hit. so she because family came from the spot. 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 followed by way of handling southwest hall. but that was the promise that they never made it to london. in 1941, her thoughts were confiscations, photos of memories, documents of lights worth of objects disappeared. so filled up, much in the end, everything was taken from the doctor's showing such as criminal, terrible foolish. i don't really know where it's bad enough to describe us in the hub is the custodial confiscation goods that we meant to shipping an option to move even use papers,
7:08 am
advertised opportunities to purchase cheap foods. i'm call 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 rig quotes. the nonsense for good evening gifts tend to see here we go and ok, the individual contents of a live band or neatly listed here. and, and you always had the name of the object just i'm just in the, in the name of the person who bought it. it's a must here for example, it's the museum, a phonology and what was offered for the object or group of items in question. and it goes on here page by page. this done here from say are jack needs to bugs,
7:09 am
everything was more or less sort insurance like the bed lennon and bed frame, but special on cookware and so on costco. sure. it's a viable research is funded by the gym and most of the 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 with the moving company to the moment, it was stored with a bailiff tact was a drop of auctioning it off one because it's here and it basically listens who bought what you and for how much gun so that we get an overview of the list of their bhaskar cove, talk to the fuse where they private persons, where they dealers feedback because wounds and what happened to the objects. and after that check been done by top us yet much like a detective. caution client will get this all the clues in atlanta based on the student gun some flu time. and from these puzzle pieces,
7:10 am
i think we can trace the task of a lift fan from its starting point or leaving the house as to what the point of sales was and can homburg now for team pliable works is a provenance research here with the gym and maritime museum in 3 and a half and the 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 here in graham . and that's how club and 1st became aware of this injustice a tablet as me off the phone that's it's dramatically that this whole topic of jewish microns property being auctioned off in freeman and homework number,
7:11 am
where we've been dealt with. i just confess this miss bava who bought which items that these auction you know, a forced foundation gate. and this has never been researched because even though it were all in the document and knocked some days and fail for many people to attend to the options, not just dealers in private individuals, but also numerous compet museums. today they a cooperation with caption clamp is research. for example, the constant ok, museums for a paintings that option and is now looking for the rightful owners and as the calm vienna to distrust the dream of course, is that this room will eventually be empty. that we can allocate all these items to their former owners and their rightful errors. return, nothing can the, this man's grandparents guild and law shall come from the spot and also own valuable paintings which has never been returned. his family inquired about the
7:12 am
missing items early on. at 1st they were told they had been incineration during foaming license. they was stumped because there were no records. but the grandson consisted and managed to find clues, leading to a painting, once owned by his family boss with puppies by know, the tires are definitely dollars. individual group just set everything in motion again and may as doubts that the paintings that actually disappeared or had been destroyed by fire showings and understood phones and they must actually still exist somewhere else to do stuff. no room for exist in your honda plus sheets key is from the in the family as it was also prompted. the husband hammond who was open to department store in berlin had left his fortune to his wife. the loving family had bought pieces by beckman lieberman brock and
7:13 am
schmidt, brooklyn's artists who were doing museums today. the villa in darling was taken over by the national socialists with a frank journalist loyal to the right. you'll have to push it sky, sol, what was coming and fled to los angeles in the us site. she hope the contents of the household would fine, except they never arrived. her property was sold off in handbook and an option that lasted 3 days. bahama fail, 1500 times. actually the tribal is still amazed by this case today.
7:14 am
it's come. no i to people came from berlin from hanover to buy it this auction and they weren't ordinary people. they were people who had been bombed out. they were traitors who turned a profit from buying these objects cheaply. i'm also an a for style phone of to the was you'll 100 associated ski. wanted to print the back. she had photos to prove what belong to her. and what would be looted by the nazis, but only a few items were ever returned. i'm free, the libel is researching the case. she's painstakingly reconstructing the old chips 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 and checking on food on this side of pictures shows the furniture from your honda pal should keep hell with the corresponding item number in the auction record. and present students will often flush title cultural coin much mom deal,
7:15 am
or because i'm of now they're even complete shots of the living rooms. all object is we also fund objects that we respond with the auction record. ios portable quite a bit of it. a few and clicking on that 9. let's take a look at this 11. 09. fine. what would it be? an interview done layout. cool. not a bit of my a crown was bought by maya for 760 hide small distances. i smoke cigarettes for the depth of the price was estimated at $220.00. so that would have been this lamp here. 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
7:16 am
mean otto at an auction held by the handbook bailiffs office without having the slightest idea. they might be judged property and this was, i'm 200 credit sheet . basically every file size, same thing you haven't, i have no more records of special. you're not aware of the go have we have nothing at all to do with this summit and something along those lines on the feel. ringback the files of the risk to choose from proceedings are stored here in the attic of what is now the handbook district court. you have the new tie who research has them . if you wanted to know how the state pays towards the injured policies and came across the policies sky case, guess what, types of huge numbers on this, because especially if in the file with a big strep around it, it must, i'm, i have to open it. when done, and then these photos of the state in berlin with these incredible artworks jumped out with me and i'll be some comments to it was an astonishing find a solution to profit because that's very,
7:17 am
very rare and restitution files that people still have photos of their properties and fun images, it took a few photographs, their furniture moved, but it was just so exceptional, but i had to look into it some time. so victims including your honda plus sheets key, there's more it 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 that they had wrong. the you isn't. that doesn't always happen because the courts were more concerned with contracts. so sums of money and the lifestyle examines, issued for tag a good crew. my god gave it away to close scrutiny and regulation. the quote, i think with us 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 also declined a laughable sum compared to the original value of her estate,
7:18 am
flemish for even fine, was astonishing to me, was that the states then actually stepped into the show at the death 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 discourse age of golf. we estimate that 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 have happened. this is active discourse that actually taking the language and listen to this day. many paintings from your hand, a precious because prizes collection are classified as lost and continues to search for them with the help of a little sum in munich. is concerned with more than their value out and fresh interests and so on. if he's interested in his family history or what
7:19 am
happened to his grandparents, especially to his grandmother was more to one of hearts is not to he asks himself is the where have all these objects? golf is on child of to look at the photos from that time to turn to venice. great, villain darling. 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 a lifetime of pain and loss. this chinese put ahead was acquired in paris, an auctioned off by the national socialists. and the images of pend, here we have that. i talk one old head items 16626, acquired by the museum of us knology or the school board file from from the bid was 505 small got them and i chose 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 didn't come up with his head was
7:20 am
apparently lost on on and thus lockwood on them. that was probably due to a clerical error in the rest of teaching records. let's see. don't tell where it was listed as an old hard, just one done not too. 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 of technology and handbook now named monk. it should be on loosely stored in a just a few years until it was broken out for an arctic suspicion. tribal scene for the 1st time to beautiful young 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
7:21 am
the long, low speed ahead will finally be returned to your hand up the sheet skis is the the museum was a very familiar with the name, so should ski because it did already returned 6 objects to its own off to the war, but not the boat ahead. the chip from cotton climb trees and museums attention to it. just 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,
7:22 am
i don't find that. no, 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 and hamburg, was in to ensure that they are adequate resources. also, providence research option. first of all, they committed to this then must honor this commitment to the stone. these are put face to move. i noticed the boat ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint efforts of catching cottle and mock. it's the fitness piece in campbell's research projects to be returned the heck. yeah, this is condition 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 years and mentions for quick ones to put you on this. and we're lucky here
7:23 am
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 households. hutton trying to relax, fee of online, but this is the case of the missing email. know the painting owned by the called 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 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. kind of there is no
7:24 am
transparency where 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 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 check mice on the national 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
7:25 am
from and who you sold it to months. my calls to do to. yeah. but i just make good tires findings or why aren't they telling the truth and you have to go through it 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 that's being acquired, assessing, don't touch, actually show us what the piece had been stolen. it's as integrate to this day, most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community. i'm 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 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
7:26 am
a boost of an unusual come, doesn't own goofy. so far this, that's approximately 121700 names of victims from hom, board from the swedish north 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 victims will be published in a da suffice. only then can the owners, and there is a search the claims 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 test. initially i'm i said to myself who if
