Thanks DW, for yet another superb documentary.. I wish similar honesty would happen in other countries.. While now contacting many (probably all) of - especially - the Danish local archives - a complete dismissal, sadly still appear. When contacting some of these places, the answer is - quote:"If it's about something from the war, we are not allowed to talk about it" end quote.....(who is prohibiting this in Denmark I wonder?) this being about art, personal histories and belongings and, as long as such behaviour is allowed, nothing will ever come to light..which clearly are their purpose. Some of the people working in these local archives, even - honestly - tell you, they are not allowed to talk about certain things...especiall from WW2!? I am especially interested in the History and belongings of certain of the Danish religious organisations but, within Denmsrk, I am met by a wall of 'cover up' I doubt will ever disappear...and, when I write "I" here, - having come across many others with the same purpose as I, I have no doubt, the Danish state will go to the extremes, in the attempt to hold in to all their stolen goods...they'll simply keep refusing tontalk... Maybe one day...maybe...in some thousand years....zzz Thanks again DW!!

PS. Many of the Danish items stolen during the war, could easily be found in Hamburg, Kiel, Berlin and not least in Dresden and Polish Warsaw and Gdansk as well as in Ukraine ...and yes, it's more than a life-long task to find it all - especially when people refuse to co-operate.

@DWDocumentary Thanks a lot DW...just occured to me, I forgot to mention Magdeburg in the above mentioned list of cities..Magdeburg which is very important, especially when it comes to personal memories and belongings of the victims, Jews and many other Europeans...as far as my research goes, Magdeburg was especially bad during the war....and, I haven't even mentioned the horrible Genocide in Warsaw and Ukraine (the Genocide, stopped by a German Vermachts Officer) and not least - to this day - the complete lack of responsibility and punishment for this horrific crime!? Somehow I doubt, any of the belongings of these poor victims, ever made it to any auction but, was simply stolen and, never accounted for by the horrific perpetrators. These people were never standing any trials - including the Nuremberg trials but, were instead helped out of Europe and, "re-located' in other continents to where, I assume they just brought all their stolen goods and, being fairly well off due to their horrific crimes, the goods are probably still in the hands of these families, who may never find any of the History behind and, who do not care at all and the victims, archives, museums etc, have lost forever...lost to the slave traders/Nazi's... During my research, I have often wondered, how many generations back these families can be traced...just imagine, to wake up one morning and realise, your family is indeed one of the very worst on our planet...huh Thanks sgain FW ☘️👍

@arnowisp6244 Among other, you write about the people who - through the WW's were very colonialists.. Yes indeed as, many of the very worst colonialists were/are the ones who "surprisingly" became the very worst during these wars and the ones helped/re-located to other countries such as the South and Central American countries where they claimed/still claim, to have become "good" people... Some of the very worst families, are still to be found in, especially South America..are, very much alive and, as I'm sure you know, a 'mindset' doesn't disappear just because a war end...

Seem to be the western "way"...wait until the victims are long dead and, then "we" might deal with it....the things "we" want to deal with...the rest "we" just don't, talk about as, then it probably disappear...and, not just regarding art but, regarding everything and everyone who "disappeared" ...or just was/were "disappeared"...
