German Curator Returns Stolen Silver Heirlooms to Holocaust Survivors

Matthias Weniger, a curator at the Bavarian National Museum, is working to return 111 silver objects stolen from Jewish families by the Nazis during the Third Reich in 1939. Weniger has made it his mission to return as many of the silver objects as possible to the descendants of the original owners. Thousands of the pieces taken from Jewish families were melted into around 135 tons of silver, and used to help Germany’s war efforts. Despite the odds, Weniger has so far managed to return about 50 objects to the family members and relatives of the original owners.
