Vases stolen by Nazis returned to rightful owners in Berlin with FBI, US embassy help

fox-

Two stunning vases stolen by the Nazis 80 years ago were returned to the heirs of their original owners at a ceremony in Berlin Thursday after a joint effort by the American embassy and an FBI art crime team.

The vases, which the FBI said were worth about $120,000 today, belonged to the family of Harry Fuld, a German Jew who founded the first modern telephone system in the country, the Frankfurt-based H. Fuld & Co. Telefon und Telegraphenwerke AG.

“Finding ways to bring small measures of justice to the victims of the Holocaust and their families, even after so many years of injustice, is a priority of the Trump Administration,” Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, told Fox News on Saturday. “From the very beginning, President Trump instructed his team to be aggressive in this work. Returning these Nazi stolen works of art to their owners’ families was a group effort by the team at the US Embassy in Berlin, the FBI, German private citizens and many others.”

  1. “what will be the relentless left’s negative spin for this story?”
    Let me guess:
    “Jews acknowledge return of stolen goods from 80 years ago validates Palestinian return and reoccupation of their stolen land in the territory Israel occupied 70 years ago.”
    You know that’s how their arguments would go.

  3. My wife and I went to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem in 2015. There was a display of belongings taken from people before they were killed: wallets, photos, shoes, etc. I had seen pictures of such things before, but actually looking at the possessions that had actually been held by the people was very overpowering.
