Stolen legacy

Dina Gold grew up in Britain hearing tales of her Wolff great-great grandparent's, great-grandparent's and grandparent's glamorous lives in pre-Nazi Berlin. Her family owned a very successful fur business and built a huge building in 1909 at Krausenstrasse 17/18 in Berlin. Once the Nazis came to power all that disappeared, and, like so many other Jewish families, Dina wondered what had become of her family's lawful assets. Her search was stymied for years because the building was in East Berlin. Once the Berlin Wall fell, she began her quest for justice. And there was a bonus to her years of successful research---historians did not know much about the Jews' lives in pre-Nazi Berlin and were anxious to hear her story, see her photographs, and look at her research.
