1:33 am
in america, they waited for their belongings to arrive and nothing came. the major goal is to eventually return these objects to their families and for me and thoughtful can 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 grandson's mind. today. we're going to be interested in where these 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 them such as symbolic place. oh yeah. then could use grand parents belongings which included the valuable art collection with also sold in
1:34 am
a so called lift fans. this is the 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 on 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 will make clear from the start. there 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 it out of germany believe they would be, were 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 us about an opportunity to
1:35 am
see you then 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 distinguish franchise and plunder them financially. and in that respect, respect, there was little incentive to ship them their property in the 1st place to know the head. so she, the co 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 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,
1:36 am
how much the end, everything was taken from the doctor, is showing that this criminal terrible foolish are really no words but enough to describe us in the hub as the custodial confiscation goods that we meant to shipping an auction to most even use papers advertised opportunities to purchase cheap foods. i'm call for the affordable gramaphone, and oil painting circuit 1750. 56 books. here in the handbook state archives, kitchen club meticulously searches through option rig quotes. the nonsense, good evening. gifts tend to see here we go once and then okay, the individual contents of a live band or neatly listed here and,
1:37 am
and you always had the name of the object just i'm just in the, in the name of the person who bought it from us here for example, it's the museum of 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, art object needs 2 books. everything was more or less sort insurance like the bed linen and the bed frame, the special on cookware and so on costco. so 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 dash 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 gum so that we get an overview of the list of

1:45 am
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 its file with a big strep around it, it must have to open it when done. and then these photos of the state in berlin with these incredible artworks jumped out of me globally, some quotes to me. it was an astonishing find, a solution to profit because that's very, very rare and restitution files that people still have photos of the property of using the phone images. it took a few photographs of their furniture, move it. it was just so exceptional, but i have to look into it some time. so victims, including you, a 100 plus sheets key, there's more stakes than just the possessions. an uncomfortable american to tell it was important to the fix was that they not only got their property back, but the german courts also acknowledged that they had wronged them in 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 come up that gauge between close scrutiny and regulation. the quote,

1:50 am
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 itself. go. so it will cease to dish. but 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 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. stone. these are put face to move. i noticed the board ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint efforts of caution chronicle and mock. it's the fitness

piece and titles research projects to be returned the tech job, that's what the issue is that the impossible can be made possible. we can track down the looted belongings and we covered them for thousands of families and people here and mentions for quick ones to put you on this. and we're lucky here that mark is a public institution, how many of us group. 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 size and befriended. more likely, if online, but this is the case of the missing e mail. know the painting owned was a cough family. the grandson, 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
1:52 am
. it was delivered there 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. 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 at the right away, like the know the wasn't the only work in the club family's collection. it also includes just out of 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. fax and file is trying to reconstruct the cruise from umus paintings from the compass. the states that the keel gallery
1:53 am
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 the who you got it from and who you sold it to months. my calls to do to. yeah. but i just make good tires problems or why aren't they telling the truth and you're good for your to the and then dustless talked interesting. 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 had to be in acquire testing. don't touch actually show us, 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,
