Insufferable Thieves

the woman clearly remembers the moment when the plundering took place. She recalled, “they just came and took things. They didn’t ask you.” They picked every jewelry and paintings they could get their hands on and took away with themselves. The Nazis also looted Adele’s gold leaf 1907 portrait. She further stated, “They just rang the doorbell and I opened it and there they were. They were not in uniform because it was Gestapo and they didn’t wear uniforms. My father died two weeks after that, it was absolutely a broken heart – he died of a broken heart.”
