think it was an open secret to show that everything here which was the jewish property, was sold with a club like auction in defend, people could figure out that their real owners hadn't gone on a holiday or to a health resort. bob and the items belong to juice and the nazis had forced to flee the country with their belongings. putting so quoted lift fence, they hope to build a new loss in exile, but off to the world again. very few of these crates went to their own is here in hamburg, southwest hall, the thousands of crates were stranded from load with the german rush. the nazis confiscated them and auctioned off the contents goods that were meant to shipment when tons of the honda in raymond, to most of the stone objects,

parents belongings which included the valuable art collection. were 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 on i'm cuz that's what i should have been too cheap. so i the nazis rose to pallet in 1933, though hitting his 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 8 transport in advance. the costs were meant,
8:35 am
but many of the crates never reach their owners. the us about an opportunity to 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 conflicts, 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 called family came from the spot in the old conductor, took an early interest in not which she 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 had books as were confiscations, photos of memories,
8:36 am
documents of lights worth of objects disappeared. so filled up the end, everything was taken from the doctor is showing that his criminal terrible foolish are really no words. 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 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,
8:37 am
good evening gifts tend to see here we go on and objects 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, let's hear, for example, it's the museum of death knology and what was offered for the object or group of items and question. and it goes on here page by page, this done here from say, art object needs to books. everything was more or less sort insurance like the bed lennon and you had frame the 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 6 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 job of auctioning it off one because it's here and it basically listens who
8:38 am
bought what, okay, and for how much gum so that we get an overview of goodness, the very best cove. talk to the fuse where they private persons, where they dealers feedback as well and what happened to the objects. and after that check been done by to see a much like a detective catch in client will get this all the clues in atlanta base. i'm just using guns and flew 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 in homework. not 14 tribal 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,

8:44 am
. 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 otto at an auction held by the handbook bailiffs office without having the slightest idea. they might be judged property interest in $200.00 and 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'll 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 attrition proceedings are stored here in the attic of what is now the handbook district court your new time. so
8:45 am
research has them. he 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 strap 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 with me. and i'll be some comments to it was an astonishing find technicians who pop because that's very, very rare and restitution files that people still have photos of their properties and fun images. it took a few photographs of their furniture and move it. it was just so exceptional, but i had to look into it some time. a victims including your 100 plus, should ski this 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 go through the property back, but the german courts also acknowledge that they had wrong to you isn't. that doesn't always happen because the courts were more concerned with contracts, so sums of money and the likelihood function for tag a good come,
8:46 am
i'd gate between close scrutiny and regulation quote. and i think with us in 1965 up to 17 years you'll have to push should ski was compensated by the federal republic of germany with 960000 torch marks on condition that she troubles the declines. a laughable sum compared to the original value of her estate finish for even fine was astonishing to me was that the states then actually stepped into the show. the debt of private individuals was repaired. but the states on this way of political fort that was a political decision in order to prevent the link, the social discourse edge of golf. 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 wants to be able to view what would have happened if there's active discourse that actually taking the language and listen to this day. many paintings from your hand,
