"And so these silver objects handed in at the pawn shops are often the only material things that remain from an existence and might be the spoon your grandmother ate with or took their soup with for Shabbat or the cup they used at the Seder and therefore it's really important to try to find the families in my view and give back the objects to the families. Even these humble objects, as well as of course these much more elaborate objects we have of some of the families."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthias Weniger, Curator at Bavarian National Museum who oversees its restitution efforts:
"Two thirds of the last owners did not survive the Shoah (Holocaust). So I myself had big doubts we would get as far as we did. I thought we might be able to solve like 10 cases or 15, but I never thought that we would be able to practically return all pieces. And I'm still optimistic that we might be able to finish the project this year to return really all the pieces by the end of the year."

STORYLINE:

Matthias Weniger puts on a pair of white cloth gloves and carefully lifts a tarnished silver candleholder, looking for a yellowed sticker on the bottom of it.

The candlestick is one of 111 silver objects at the Bavarian National Museum that the Nazis stole from Jews during the Third Reich in 1939.
