the search for my family's art treasures stolen by the Nazis
Simon Goodman's grandparents came from German Jewish banking dynasties and died in concentration camps. And that's all he knew because his father rarely spoke of their family history or heritage. When his father died, Simon and his brother received numerous boxes of old papers. And little by little the true story of the Goodman (or Gutmann in German) family began to emerge. An incredulous Simon soon realized that his grandparents had been wealthy beyond belief and all their real estate, priceless art treasues, and eventually their lives, had been stolen by the Nazis. Simon's father had made an effort to reclaim his family's history but it would be Simon who succeeded.
