Golden Woman

Go a little to the left,
please.

Adele, you are restless.

I worry too much, you know that.

With what?

The future.

LOS ANGELES, 1998

Me and my sister, Luise,
we really loved each other,

but the truth is that we were
always competing.

If life is a race, then
she would arrive first.

But if it's a boxing match,

then I would be the one standing.

Either way, together
We've been through a lot,

and I will miss you.

See you forever, dear Schwester.

Barbara, thank you so much for coming.
It's very important to me.

Our families have known each other for so long.

Your son, the lawyer, how is he?

Oh, trying to survive, unfortunately.

After completing the law course
went to a very good firm,

and then decided to open
an office in Pasadena.

- And what happened?
- Everything fell apart.

Oh...

Accumulated seven years of debt
of loans to study and it didn't take off.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear.

Do you need a lawyer?

These are just some letters I found
among my sister's things.

I need advice
from someone I can trust.

I'll ask him to call you.

I really believe...

I really believe that with a firm
like this, sir, who... would be...

...ready and available for...

Hello?

No, it's not, it's not, it's not a good time, Mom.

It's not a good time.
Call you latter.

Well, she has all the reports...

Hello, Randy Schoenberg is here
for Bergen, Brown and Sherman.

- OK.
- Would like to enjoy

make the most of opportunities
which are provided here.

In a firm as important as this
would be highly motivated

to do my best,
24 hours a day.

Do you have any family relationship?
with the famous composer, Schoenberg?

Arnold was my grandfather, sir.

But he died before I was born.

His music requires a certain
degree of application.

But the rewards
they are well worth the effort.

One of the things I look forward to most…

working here means exploring
its largest size...

And Judge Schoenberg is your father.

Now retired, yes sir.

A fabulous lineage, Mr. Schoenberg.

Yes sir.

What happened in Pasadena?

Well, I took a risk.

I opened my own firm
law, but it didn't pay off, you know.

Work on your own
It's not that sensational.

So now it's ready
to work with others?

Yes sir.

Well then let's go
Mr. Schoenberg.

Thank you mom.

I was waiting for you at 6.
It's been ten minutes.

My apologies, Ms. Altmann.
I got stuck in traffic on Wilshire.

He looks tired and nervous,
but it's not badly presented.

You were such a skinny boy.

Thanks.

So, what do you know about
art restitution?

Nothing at all.

Well, it's never too late to learn.

Why don't you come in?

Eat some puff pastry.
I made it especially for you.

My sister is the little girl
pretty one on the left, Luise.

And I'm the boring one next to her.

My parents, Therese and Gustav.

My uncle Ferdinand,
who owned a sugar company,

and his wife, Aunt Adele,
who died very young.

Sit at my feet, Maria.

Adele didn't have any children,

That's why we lived together
like a family.

In a way, I had two
sets of parents.

Try to smile, Maria.

It's good to exercise your muscles
facials once a year.

The Bloch-Bauers.

I found these letters in the middle
of my sister's things.

Look, I translated them for you
at the rear.

1948?

From our family lawyer
in Vienna, Johann Rinesch.

Everything about our paintings
that were stolen by the Nazis.

OK.

I read it in The New York Times

that things are changing in Austria.

How are they changing?

They are reformulating the laws
of art restitution.

Reanalyzing old cases.

My sister finally comes
live with me.

The only problem is that she decides
do it when she is dead.

Well, at least this way
there will be no discussion.

What I wanted to say is that,
You know how roommates...

tend to argue about the dishes
in the sink and things like that and...

and you won't have
no discussion,

because, the dishes, because, you see...

because she is dead.

That's why...

I'm so sorry. I'm... I was trying...
She was making a joke and not...

Oh, here she is.

My aunt Adele.

My uncle hired
Gustav Klimt to paint.

What an excellent painting.

It's magnificent.

Was taken from the walls
from our house by the Nazis,

and since then,
has been hanging

at the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna.

And now I would like to get it back.

Wouldn't it be wonderful?

It will make you a rich woman, for sure.

Do you think that's what's happening here?

No, I have to do what I can
to keep these memories alive.

Because people forget, you know.

Especially young people.

Then, of course, there is justice.

I bored you to tears tonight.

She looked at her watch four times.

You know, this was a test
and we both failed.

Sorry. Sorry
have wasted your time.

Today, I got a job.

A baby that keeps me up at night,
a woman I want to make happy.

So why would there be
Interested in ancient history?

Goodbye sweetheart.

Struwwelpeter.

Struwwelpeter,
the book he had in his hand.

My grandmother used to read it to me.

Terrible… the one about the boy
which is carried by the wind.

For a terrible adventure.

She used to scare me too.

Why can't you just
take a look at these,

and she tells me if we have
enough arguments.

That's all I ask of you.

"April 11, 1948.

Dear Luise Bloch-Bauer..."

She is her sister.

"The Austrian Government decided

"that she will keep her aunt's portrait
by Klimt

"and four other Klimts who insist

"were left to the gallery
in his will,

"a fact that they consider
be irrefutable.

"The will itself...

"I didn't see him...

"despite my continued
efforts to do so.

Best regards, Johann Rinesch."

Her lawyer
Have you never seen the will?

Nobody saw the will.

Randy!

Hello, Mrs. Altmann. Hello.

Uh, we just need
copy these

just here, okay?

Here everyone seems to be
having nervous breakdowns.

And they are.

I was up until 3am.
I did a little research.

I'm impressed.

Get someone on the ground in Vienna.

For the first time in 50 years,
opened the files,

so start trying to find
a copy of Adele's will.

- Yes and then?
- The Austrian Minister of Culture...

will form a committee to analyze
each case individually,

but you have to fill out an application

so that they can respond to your complaint
at the end of next month...

- ...at the latest.
- Next month?

At the latest, yes. I already asked that
send the application sheet.

Slower.
Can you explain everything to me...

- ...at lunch.
- No.

- Mrs. Altmann, I can't go to lunch.
- I know a very nice place.

They make an excellent rice pudding.

Okay, these are three names

of the best lawyers
in refunds from America.

They will be expensive,
but without them it is a false hope.

No, no, all I have is my store,
my house and some money

I saved up to buy
a new dishwasher.

No, I can't waste money
with sophisticated lawyers.

Okay, I have to go, so...

Can't help me
a little in your spare time?

See, like a hobby.

This is not for free time, Maria.

It's a full-time job,
It's not a hobby.

He's rude,
He's a rude little man,

and completely
uninterested in the past.

And you have a special talent
to make me feel good about myself.

But you have the connection.

What connection?

Family, Randy.

Your grandparents came
here from Austria.

You see, we share
the same story.

Oh, how can you
see with these glasses?

They are filthy.

Yes, it's better.
They help you see more clearly.

"'Woman in Gold' estimated value"

"The estimated value of 'Woman in Gold'
is more than one hundred million dollars

I see potential here
firm investment.

Do you really think that a painting
who happened to be a fridge magnet

Will you ever leave Austria?

I think it would be a mistake
do not check.

A week at most.

Thanks. Thank you sir.

I want you back on the 3rd.

Oh, sure, sir. Thanks.

Still working?

- I only close the store when I go to sleep.
- Great news.

I have the green light. I'm going there,

I'll try to find the will,
and then we will continue the process.

Oh! Randy!

This is wonderful!

You were excited
like that all of a sudden.

Yes, I stayed. And... I have another idea.

My mother sent me this.

It is scheduled for the end of this month
a conference on art restitution.

They are looking for speakers.

I think you should be one of them.

- What you mean?
- An exquisite descendant...

from one of the great Viennese families.

The newspapers would love her.
It would speed things up.

I would press.

Good...

I love your enthusiasm and,
After all, I'm not a coward.

We have to move.

But I fear that with your good will,
there has been a misunderstanding.

Like this?

I'm not going back to that place.
Not now, not ever.

I don't understand.

They destroyed my family,

they killed my friends,

and forced me to leave

the people and places I loved.

That was more than half a century ago.

Do you think this is a long time?

It would only be a few days, and that was it.
We go in and out.

Randy, you're not listening to me.

I'd rather die
to go back there,

not for all the paintings in the world.

Anyway...

I wasn't there a week ago
not even interested in this case,

and now he can't stop talking about it...
What happened?

Against what is sensible,

I think I like you.

How long?

Four or five days, a week at most.
It depends on how receptive you are.

What do you plan to do?

Dora... I'm not moving to Congo,

I'm going to Austria for a few days,
with the blessing of the firm.

What do you think?

I think that was "yes".

I see you, Maria. Come here.

Why don't you help your aunt?

Put on my favorite necklace.

Your little fingers
are perfect for doing this.

One day you will have to leave
of being so shy.

Life will ask you.

Your only enemy is fear.

- Hello?
- I know we're in the middle...

of the night, but if
wait until morning

could change my mind.

I decided to face the ghosts.

She is complicated.

"The store will be closed
until April 4th"

Oh, her mother called again this morning.

Want me to go visit
the Holocaust Memorial when you are there.

He's already mentioned this seven times.

Well, she said to go for honor...

-... from her great-grandparents.
- Siegmund and Malvina.

Oh, she had these eyes
beautiful, you know?

Huge, like an owl.

You packed a suitcase
Horribly big, Maria.

Are you sure you brought
enough stuff?

If I'm going back there,
Better to do it in style.

Pam, darling,
Can you walk a little faster?

I think... at this rate
we're going to miss the plane.

Let's arrive with four
hours in advance.

Yes, but I want to buy
perfume and cognac in the duty-free shop.

Look, go that way.

Pam, honey, go. Go now.

With pleasure, Mrs. Altmann.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are
about to land in Vienna.

Please fasten your seat belts.

I never thought I would come back.

A guy from the Ministry

He agreed to meet me tomorrow...
He must be responsible for the information.

Lucky for us for someone
accept to receive us.

You don't have to come,
If you do not want.

Oh, we're not even there yet,

and already trying
get rid of me?

That is not what I said...
I just wanted to say that you don't have to come.

Anyway I want to go
to Belvedere to visit my aunt.

You know, the postcard doesn't do it justice.

She was born in Vienna...

- ...Mrs. Altmann?
- Yes, yes, I was born, yes.

Just around the corner, yes.

Speaks German?

Yes, but I prefer to speak English.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

I will definitely try.

There it is.

The apartment on the second floor
it was our home.

Oh, the things this house has seen, Randy!

Great artists, musicians, writers,
passed through those doors.

Including, of course, your grandfather.

And Dr. Freud himself.

On my wedding night,
half of Vienna was here.

Mrs. Altmann?

I found your name
on the list of speakers

for the refund conference
and located her.

And who are you?

Hubertus Czernin,
investigative reporter.

- Welcome to Vienna.
- Thanks.

Can I invite you
to have a drink?

I'm the editor.

My little Austrian baby.
Keeps me balanced.

When I wrote an article
to expose the Nazi past

of our own
President Waldheim...

a man approached me
in a supermarket and spat in my face.

He called me a traitor.

I told him: "I am a real Austrian."

And what is your interest?
in a pair of...

Californian tourists, Mr. Czernin?

I just thought it might be useful
have an Austrian friend.

For what?

You know... this restitution thing
It started as a public relations training.

Austria wanted to improve
your image abroad,

but now it's turning
in a Pandora's box.

They don't want to lose
your treasures.

That's why they're going to put all the
possible obstacles in your path,

and maybe I can help
to cross some of them.

And what do you gain from that?
What is your motivation?

Let's just say it's a brand
very particular of patriotism.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I think I'll give us a gift
with another round of drinks.

Oh yes, that's a wonderful idea.

You find it zucchero porti

When our daughter Maria said
that she was going to marry an opera singer,

we decided he should sing
Mozart at the wedding.

Let's keep it all Austrian, I said.

These are troubled times.

Let's hope this night is memorable

be a prophecy of happier days.

Health!

I'm sad that your
Aunt Adele isn't here tonight.

She would be proud of you.

I'm sad too, uncle.

At least she's not alive to testify
what is happening to the country he loved.

I want...

Keep this, Maria.

Your favorite.

You have a personality
strong and inquisitive.

There's something of Adele's spirit in you.

I will always appreciate that.

Here you go, sister.
Come on, Maria, it's cake time.

Everyone is looking for you.

Hurry, I'm hungry.

You have to help me cut it, Luise.

That Maria of yours
She is a heart stealer.

The Chancellor gave in on everything.

Hitler made an empty promise
about Austrian sovereignty.

But I bet that at the end of the month,

the Nazis will be marching on the Ringstrasse
with her high boots.

The Austrians won't allow it.

I leave for Zurich
on Saturday with Luise.

Next week,
you must join us.

There will be a lot to do.
We have to take advantage of the time.

As always, he is a dreamer.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

The Restitution Commission

decided that your case,
is susceptible to analysis,

Mrs. Altmann.

Me and young Mr. Schoenberg
we took this long journey,

so we would appreciate
be able to discuss the process

with the Commission before
her to make a decision.

The Commission does not interact
with external entities.

And we are one
external entity, is it?

The paintings belonged
to Mrs. Altmann's family.

You have to trust that all
correct procedures will be followed.

And now, if you don't mind,

I have to go to a reception.

Enjoy your stay
in our beautiful city.

It was a real pleasure...

meet her.

How are you?

I don't know if I have the strength
to deal with these people...

and I've only been here for a day.

Come on, let's go.

There is no possibility
to get a copy

of Adele's will before leaving.

No. The archive department
was not appropriately helpful.

Well, luckily, I have that
what is usually called

a mole in the Belvedere.

Someone who can
speed things up.

Mondays,
the museum is closed,

but my mole friend,
she will be waiting for her.

I hope you are not allergic
to a little dust.

I didn't tell you that he
Would it still be useful, Randy?

Be patient, Maria.
He'll find out soon

that some Austrians are your friends
whatever his motivations.

He continues to work on it.

Amalie Zuckerkandl.

Also portrayed by Klimt.

She was a friend of our family.

She died in a concentration camp.

Belzec, yes.

Mrs. Altmann,
her aunt is just around the corner.

Is she ready for the reunion?

For better or worse, she became part
of Austria's identity.

A national icon. Adele became
part of the country's imagination.

Aunt Adele.

He likes?

Why is it all gold?

Forget the gold. It's Klimt.

Look at my face.
Looks like me?

Yes, but I don't believe it
that looks happy.

I imagine what it will be like
be a woman

when you are older.

If we have to have fun
with trivia.

Portrait of Adele, painted by Klimt.

One of our most famous paintings. One
wonderful example of the Austrian cultural legacy.

Hurry, let's go home.

The Government announced
that citizens

cannot leave the country
without express authorization.

These new measures
will be applied immediately.

My brother was right.
We should have left by now.

Look.

It's Mrs. Klein, the doctor's wife.

What are they doing with her?

Forcing you to clean
the floor with acid.

And Mr. Rosenblatt was obliged
writing "Jew" on his shop window.

But why?

Why do you think so, Therese?

Bring me the cello, Maria.

For what, father?

There are almost five.

Because this Saturday
would it be different from others?

Because is.

I will not allow them to touch us.

- Father.
- The cello, Maria!

Come on.

The passport office will close
to two in the afternoon until further notice.

Rejected. Next.

My brother is in England,
and my sister is in Switzerland.

We have somewhere to stay
in both countries.

There are only four of us,

but we need to leave
Austria as soon as possible.

Just like all other Jews.

What makes you special?

Rejected. Next.

Your business is closed. Paint!

Jewish pigs! It's well done!

Do not look!

Thank God!
We were worried.

Open the door!

Are here.

Of course they are.

Fritz, open the door.

Yes sir.

Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer?

My brother is in Switzerland
on business.

Is that what they call it?

Your brother's sugar company
is guilty of tax evasion

in over a million Reichsmark.

His assets were frozen
until you pay off the entire debt.

This agent will stay with you.

- From now on, they are under house arrest.
- My brother is a law-abiding citizen.

They are a family
who appreciates the power of art.

Holbein.

Impressive.

A silver cup
with precious stones.

A diamond necklace.

Two silver candelabra.

A cello!

Stradivarius.

Of course, only the best.

No, please.

It is your joy.

I could look for the file
family alone, you know.

I wasn't going to miss out on the fun.

This is like a James Bond movie
and you are Sean Connery.

Yes.

Hello. I'm Anna.

- Hello how are you?
- Hello.

- It's an honor to meet you.
- Thank you for doing this.

So you know Hubertus?

All museum archives
before 1972

are stored in the same room.

I think they will have
a busy day.

Roll up your sleeves, Randy.

Congratulations.

A great treasure
cultural information.

Hubertus and I were awake
poring over the file.

Well, I'm glad to know you are
The two of them get along so well.

So now we can start

building a portrait
of what really happened.

Maria, you are the living link to the past.

I have my nails digging into it.

Tell us what you know.

Adele died in 1925.

With meningitis. She was only 43 years old.

My uncle Ferdinand was forgotten.

And then, of course, the will,
written in 1923

two years before his death.

Her signature! Oh my God!

I will translate as
need more than get it.

"I kindly ask my husband

"to leave my portrait

"and the other paintings
of Klimt, after his death,

to the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna."

So he left them at the gallery.

Oh, Randy, did we come all this way for nothing?

One step at a time, Maria.

In fact, he asks
let the paintings follow

to Belvedere, but the request
brings with it a very specific condition.

He specifically asks that the paintings

go to Belvedere
after Ferdinand's death.

Let's tell the story
chronologically.

Maria, do you have any ideas?
of what happened

to your family property
after you left?

Not everything. Unlike the woman
of Lot, I never looked back.

Maybe now is the time to find out.

After fleeing Austria
Maria, your home

became the setting for one of the
great robberies of that time.

Your family's assets

ended up in the hands
of the most powerful

Nazi elite criminals.

All our possessions,
our personal assets?

Did you know, for example, that a
of your uncle's favorite paintings,

a portrait of Waldmüller
from Count Esterhazy...

Yes, yes, I remember.

She was hanging
in the living room.

I never liked her, actually.

...she ended up decorating the walls,
not from any other place than the Berghof,

Hitler's private residence
in the Bavarian Alps?

Or that your aunt's necklace,

the same one she uses
in Klimt's portrait,

came to adorn the neck
by Emmy Goering,

Hermann Goering's wife?

I don't think you want to hear this.

The Nazis themselves didn't like it
so much of the Klimts.

They were, after all, a little
degenerate for their taste.

But the paintings called
someone's attention

with a more refined taste
and clairvoyant of art,

-Bruno Grimshitz.
- Grimshitz?!

The paintings had been removed
from your family home

and transported with care
to Belvedere.

Some facts had
to be changed,

like your aunt's name
and his Jewish origins, of course.

In a brief space in the war,

he became known simply as...

"Golden Woman."

Therefore, your identity
was also stolen.

It wasn't enough to steal
his family and try to destroy it.

No. You would have to be
erased from history.

Then the paintings arrived at Belvedere.

In 1941.

His uncle, Maria, died...

at the end of the war, 1945.

Therefore, contrary to the request
in Adele's will,

the paintings ended up going to the Belvedere
long before his death.

And, if I'm not mistaken, he wrote
his own will before he died.

Yes, he wrote.

Leaving everything he had,
or at least what was left of it,

to you and your sister,
his only heirs.

It was one of the last things he did
before dying a few days later.

Yes, but they won't argue
that Adele actually left them at the gallery?

So, in fact,
We have no arguments.

Randy, why don't you show
Is Maria our trump card?

What is this?

This is proof
that Ferdinand bought...

- ...the paintings.
- Mmm.

He was the rightful owner
and not Adele.

The paintings weren't hers,
therefore she could not give it to another.

So the will is invalid?

Technically, it's not a will.

There is no legal binding.

It works more like a wish.

Now we have to take all this to Rudolf Wran,
the head of the Restitution Commission.

Yes. And then your aunt
come home with us.

Oh!

Randy, wait and listen.

She is the Mona Lisa of Austria.

Do you think they'll just let her go?

See, we sent it to Mr. Wran

four messages this morning alone.

Mr Wran is very busy at the moment.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, of course we understand,

but it is extremely important
let us talk to him.

The problem is that it is essential
Let's talk...

- ...with him this morning.
- Randy, Randy, isn't that him?

I think its better
leave a message.

- Mr. Wran?
- Wran. Wran.

Sir, Mr. Rudolf Wran?

Hello. My name is Randy Schoenberg.

This is my client, Mrs. Altmann.

- How are you?
- I'm really sorry...

I did not have time yet
to answer your calls.

- Well, that's...
- You don't need to apologize.

You are a man
very important and very busy.

There is some new information

of which the Restitution Commission
need to have knowledge

before reaching any kind of decision
in the Bloch-Bauer case.

True?

Yes, it's all here.
I made some observations

on the margins. Forgive
my handwriting.

It's been very busy
during your stay in Vienna.

We didn't come here to eat cakes.

Mr. Schoenberg, I know it is
grandson of the composer.

He has no idea how much I am
Admirer of his work?

He's a man of refined taste, Mr. Wran.

The genius of the system
composition of 12 tones

should not be underestimated.

Thank you for his efforts, but we already have
all the information we need.

If you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

It's hard to believe that Hitler

signed up to be
an art student here.

I wish they had accepted it.

Everybody is here.

The woman entering at this moment...

Elizabeth Gehrer, Minister of Culture.

With our new friend, Rudolf Wran.

Very competitive.

They are setting up here
a great show.

Welcome to the Restitution Conference.

This is the first step to reimbursement

those whose art was theirs
illegally taken.

The hanging landscape painting
in the main room of our house.

It was the first thing you saw
when the front door opened.

I will never forget the day
when they entered our house

and they took our pictures off the wall.

Our maid went to
my mother's wardrobe

and she took off her clothes and said,

"Don't think about going to the police,

because they're going to come here anyway."

And so it was.

Some police officers came,

and other people,
and looted the place.

When people see
the famous portrait,

see a masterpiece of a
of the best Austrian artists.

But I see an image of my aunt,

a woman who told me about life

while I brushed him
her hair in her room.

Restitution.

Note, it's an interesting word.

You know, I looked in the dictionary.

"Restitution: the return of something
to its original state."

Well, this got me thinking.

See, I would love to go back
to my original state.

I would love to be a happy woman
living in this beautiful city.

Like so many of my generation
who had to flee,

I will never forgive them
for stopping me from living here.

At the very least we should have it back
what is rightfully ours.

Thanks.

Mrs. Altmann, Dr. Bernhard Kohler.

I work at the Belvedere gallery.

And how can I be of service to you, Dr. Kohler?

If the Commission's decision is in your favor,
take the three landscapes,

but we beg you, not the portraits.

They became attached to them.

We can't imagine
Austria without them.

- I can.
- Good...

as soon as the past is corrected,

I will be receptive
to an understanding.

Maria, can I talk to you
a moment?

Excuse me? I think mine
lawyer is getting a little nervous.

Feel free to call me,
to resume the conversation.

I think we need
be careful what we say.

Oh, does that mean I must
be careful with what I say.

He recently called his lawyer.

Most of the people
accept advice from your lawyers.

Yes, when asked.

Now, if you don't mind, I would like
to walk alone to the hotel.

Mrs. Altmann,
What a powerful speech he made.

But why don't you let it
Does the past stay in the past?

You never give up, do you?
Not everything is about the Holocaust.

My brother reserved the last
two tickets to Colonia.

And then?

From Colonia, we go to the border.

There is a contact.

He was paid to pass us
clandestinely over there.

When is the flight to Cologne?

Eight o'clock at night.

I can't abandon my parents.

It's our last chance, Maria.

But someone has to
take by car to the airport.

A friend of my father
owes you a favor.

He will never leave us
out of your reach

I have an idea.

But first I have
to say goodbye to them.

Daddy.

Mutti.

The time has come, hasn't it?

You know as well as I do

that will not allow
my dad get a doctor

because he committed
the crime of being Jewish.

So the least you can do
is to let us go to the pharmacy.

And why do they both need to go?

For God's sake, if you're worried
that we will run away,

Why don't you come with us?

He is well.

I take them.

But we'll be back soon.

What a shame.

She was hopeful
that we could all go to the cinema.

Don't delay any longer
than a minute.

Just a minute, no more.

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

How can I be of assistance?

My father is with
a very high fever.

We need something
to lower the temperature.

One moment.

Okay, this should help.

Keys!

Fritz.

Yes Yes Yes.

What are you doing?

I feel like I'm fainting.
I need to get some air.

Open the door please.

The soldier who is
smoking in the street is with you?

No.

No, please open the door quickly

Of course, you are Jews.

- No, please.
- Hey!

They're trying to escape! Fast!

There.

Stop! Stop!

Over there.

Are you sure this will
to City Council?

Yes.

They go! Meet you there!

Jewish dung.

They went that way.

The car.

Get them.

Thanks.

I'll do anything for your family.
Good luck.

Thanks.

- Thanks.
- You are welcome.

Tickets, please.

Traveling to Colonia?

Colonia, yes.

Don't have luggage?

It's all very unexpected.

Let's go for one night.

My husband is acting as
Wotan at the Cologne Opera.

His baritone fell ill.

Van Karajan is the conductor.
We are very excited.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Next.

Notice to passengers
of Flight 12. Destination Colonia.

Due to unforeseen circumstances
the match was postponed.

Our apologies for
any inconvenience caused.

Ladies and gentlemen,
We are ready to start boarding.

Please have the tickets
ready for inspection.

Pay attention!

There are passengers who will not be able to
board this flight tonight.

Herr Stephan Neumann
and Herr Karl Neumann.

Introduce yourselves!

Please come closer.

Ladies and gentlemen.

And this is Minister Gehrer.

How are you?

Here Dr. Dreimann is our main
lawyer in this very complicated case.

Sit down, please.

Some cases are more complex
than others, but...

after much consideration,

We regret to inform you, Frau Altmann,

that the Commission decided
that Klimt's five paintings

displayed at Belvedere
they will remain there.

Please tell me this
it's a joke.

They're not kidding, Randy.

Your aunt's will
must be fulfilled.

But that's the point.
It's not even a will.

Huh... the paintings aren't hers
so you can donate them to others. Here.

Huh, where is it?

We have proof that the paintings
were owned by Ferdinand,

and not his wife, which makes
her will invalid.

I think it's this
who is talking.

And that is ignorance...
And that's ignoring the fact

that there was a cover-up
deliberate to hide the shape

through which the paintings
ended up in the gallery.

They are not interested
on the facts, Randy.

Your aunt's request
needs to be respected.

It's not a will
with legal validity!

Do you think my aunt
I would have written these words

If she knew what was going to happen?

He thinks?

The looting of your home,
the murder of your own!

Our decision
is not negotiable.

If they disagree with it, the only option
is to pursue the case in court.

Come on, Randy, let's go.

Dr. Dreimann, speak
as if I knew my aunt,

but he didn't know her,

and I can tell you right now
that what they decided today

would make her have
ashamed to be an Austrian.

And you should be ashamed too.

It's not America.

To continue
to the case in Austria,

The Government requires a deposit
to meet the cost

of 1.8 million dollars,
and that's just for starters.

1.8 million?!

Based on a portion of the value
estimation of the paintings.

Okay, so on the one hand we are told...
“Go to court.”

On the other hand, financially
impossible for us to do so.

Their hands are tied, yes.

What about mediation here in Vienna?

No one will decide to return
the paintings, Randy... Nobody.

It's a complete waste
of time and money.

No more daydreaming.

Thank you, Hubertus
for all your effort.

Come on, Randy.

It's time to pack your bags.

- Hubertus.
- Am sorry.

- I'm checking to see if you're okay.
- Goes into. Sit down.

How it feels?

I am exhausted.

That's what happens when
if you have to negotiate all day

with a donation of grim evidence.

They will never recognize what they did,

because if you recognize something
they would have to admit them all.

Recognize what?

They were never victims.

Most of them threw flowers
and welcomed the Nazis with open arms,

and that is the naked truth.

It is with great pleasure that I announce

that Klimt's Adele
will stay in Austria.

This is a victory
from the Belvedere Gallery

and a victory
for the Austrian people.

- Oh, enough. Turn it off.
- Thanks.

Tomorrow we go home,

and on the way to the airport,

we will stop to provide
our tribute

at the Holocaust Memorial.

This way, we will not have
coming here in vain.

The field where my great-grandfathers
were murdered.

Treblinka.

They died shortly after their grandfather
have fled to America.

I remember them well.

They had a cherry tree in the garden,

and she had beautiful eyes.

Her mother reminds me of her.

And then they were taken
in the middle of the night.

Randy...

Now we have to go to the airport.

OK.

You know what else? Hmm...

I'm going to the men's room.

- I'll be right back.
- Yes.

My grandfather used to say
that the three things

What I hated most in life
They were Hitler, his grandmother,

and the Los Angeles sun,
but I must say,

Right now, all in Los Angeles
It looks excellent to me.

Do you know that if my dear Fritz
were still alive,

he would welcome us with opera.

Welcome home.

- To Randy and Maria.
- To Randy and Maria.

Today I don't drink.
Thank you anyway.

We did our best...
And that is what matters.

We did everything we could.

The past is the past,

and now we have to leave it
stay behind.

Maria?

Randy.

Hey.

I went for the money.

Those paintings are worth
more than 100 million.

That's why I went there with her.

I went for the money, Pam.

It's natural.

But you're home now,
and everything is fine.

It is?

Randy?

SEVEN MONTHS LATER

It's 29 dollars, sir.

- Thank you, Mrs. Scheff.
- Goodbye.

-Oh.
- Oh. Excuse me.

Thanks.

I like to see you again
after all this time.

The Belvedere catalog for sale
at Barnes and Noble in Wilshire.

And best wishes to you too.
What nonsense is this?

You don't understand.
We already got them.

We can sue them
here, in the USA.

Not that again.

Oh, anyway, Randy,
I thought you said

that we couldn't process them
here because of that...

immunity thing
from a foreign state.

And I said, but I found exceptions.
Three requirements.

That are?

When goods are removed
in violation of international law.

- Which was the case.
- Thanks.

And the assets are held by an entity
from a foreign state.

Are you referring to the Belvedere Gallery?

Thanks. That this entity establishes
commercial activities within the USA.

The sale of books
at Barnes and Noble?

Thanks. If you meet these requirements
you can sue them here in the USA.

Congratulations. Fill them in.
You can sue.

Yes, but I don't want to do that.

Oh, don't you remember
What did I tell you, Randy?

Sometimes it is...

We simply have
to move forward.

It is difficult.

To begin,
there is no precedent.

Yes there is. I found a case, sir.

He comes from a Jewish family from Argentina,
were left without a hotel.

The answer is no.

I have a good feeling
about this, sir.

Since when did we pay you
to have premonitions?

I usually call this
ultimatum, Randy.

I did your will.

"Let him go to Europe," I thought,
"let him exercise his muscles."

God knows, I believe that a
small part of me hoped...

- ...that there was something.
- I think I have.

It does not have. There is no case.

There is no enforcement mechanism
of law between the USA and Austria.

- Just one more try, sir.
- Now I need you here.

No more extracurricular activities,

and no more Klimts.

Hello.

Hello. I'm here to register
a complaint against the Austrian Government.

Complete the citation
and that's the complaint.

- How much do I owe?
- Well, that will cost $165.

One day I want to go to Austria
with my daughter.

She loves Kangaroos.

Maria?

Hey, can you come with me for a second?

I want you to be a witness to something.

Come, come, come,
faster.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Is Consul Brandstetter here?

- Unfortunately, no, sir.
- Well, tell him that...

Mrs. Altmann and Randy Schoenberg
appeared here.

- I think he must have heard of us.
- OK.

What we want
from the Austrian consul?

Please let me know and I leave it here
a quote and a complaint... here it is.

Let's take the Government
Austrian to court.

Have a good day.

- Mmm.
- OK.

Randy...

Can you calm down, please?
and tell me what's going on?

Let's take them to court.

No, you can't do this.
You can't just

come forward with accusations as a...
like a runaway steamroller...

- No?
- Randy, don't go so fast.

I can't keep up with you. For!

Then...

I told you before that I don't have
interest in processing them.

We've had too many emotions.

I... returned to my peaceful life

and finally I began to find
some peace again.

Say it with conviction.

Don't be impertinent.

Oh, you bore me.

Either way, you don't have time for this.

You... have a family to support,
and a full-time job.

Oh no.

What does that mean, give up?

I said goodbye.

I spoke to my father...
he can give us a loan, you know,

- Oh how nice. Excellent.
- ...to keep us calm for a few months.

Now that we are expecting another child.

It doesn't seem like we are
under a lot of pressure?

I hoped we would take
these decisions together.

- Isn't that the idea?
- Yes.

Sorry.

You're right.

It's Austria.

Something happened there,
and I do not know...

I do not know why,
But I can't leave it behind.

I think it's important.

I'm so sorry.

Let's hope we're not
wasting our time today.

Realize this is just
the first step, right?

They hired Stan Gould
by Heimann Rose,

which is a top firm
of Jewish lawyers.

How nice of you to give
jobs for Jewish boys.

They are trying to dismiss the case
based on procedures,

is the same as saying they are
trying to delay it

hoping that I die
before the case goes to court.

Precisely.

Well, I'll do you a favor
to keep me alive.

Oh, Randy, you can't go
a little faster?

Look, your chocolate
donut is melting.

Right here.

Mr. Gould. Hello.

- Mr. Schoenberg.
- It's a great pleasure, sir.

Mrs. Altmann.

Dr. Dreimann, how nice
for him to have come from Austria.

He is very kind.

I've always wanted to visit Disneyland.

Two birds with one stone,
as they say.

We hope to make your
trip was worth it.

Mrs. Altmann, let me tell you that it seems
even younger than in Vienna.

You know, this morning,
I felt like I had

50 years more.

All stand.

- Stop this. Stop this. For.
- Do you have chocolate...

Let's begin.

- Mr. Gould?
- Madam Judge...

The Sovereign Immunities Act
[AISE] was approved in 1976,

a good 38 years after
the events under consideration.

It seems obvious that the
AISE deliberations

cannot be applied
retroactively and I'm stumped

that Mrs. Altmann's advisors
have not alerted her to this fact.

She would have saved a good deal
of inconveniences

and an equal dose of false hope.

No, not because of that... it's not a
inconvenience to me.

Mondays are
stops at my store...

- ...anyway, so...
- That's great to hear...

Mrs. Altmann, but from now on
From now on, do you care?

to just talk
when asked?

There are some standards that have
to be obeyed in a courtroom.

Mrs. Judge, Mr. Gould
You are right... to point out

that AISE was activated in 1976,

but you are wrong in this theory
that it cannot be applied retroactively.

Um, if... I may?

Despite the actions

occurred before 1976
Although they are rare, they existed.

Here are three examples of this.

Thank you very much, Mr. Schoenberg...
I am sure that this

It will be a fascinating read.

Let's suspend for ten minutes.

This is a subject
internal to Austria.

Anything else would be a violation
of its national sovereignty.

After all, there is a forum
for Mrs. Altmann

follow up on her case in Austria...

without recourse to American courts

and American taxpayers' money.

I appreciate Mr. Gould's concern
with the American taxpayer,

but to take this case
to a court in Austria

it would be necessary for Mrs. Altmann
was a multimillionaire.

It's not an option.

In fact, we ran out
all other options.

If that weren't the case, we wouldn't be
here today before this judgment.

The complainant adequately demonstrated

that AISE can be applied
to events prior to 1976.

Furthermore, given the prohibitive costs,

this court decided
that Austria has

from a misfit forum
for the resolution of the complainant's accusation.

- Madam Judge…
- The defense's motion to dismiss the case was rejected.

All stand.

First obstacle overcome.

You know, I always thought they should
there are more women judges.

It's a setback, for sure...

Dr. Dreimann.

Congratulations, Mr. Schoenberg.

An unexpected result
that without a doubt...

- ...it will have enchanted you.
- You are a very busy man.

I hope you will consider mediation.

There will be no mediation,
Mr. Schoenberg.

You were exceptionally lucky today,
But don't be fooled, we'll take this

to the Supreme Court
if necessary.

Good morning to Mr.

Enjoy Disneyland.

Mrs. Altmann,
I'm Ronald Lauder.

Estée's son.

His lipsticks are wonderful.

Stay Mocha... my favorite.

Please sit.

I have a lot of respect
for your demand.

Works of art stolen by the Nazis
are the last prisoners of World War II,

and Adele is your queen.

My aunt would be
very flattered.

I was a young man when I saw
the portrait for the first time,

and I fell in love immediately.

- Oh...
- And that's why...

that I want it for mine
gallery in New York.

We are putting the cart
ahead of the horse, Mr. Lauder.

Well, a person has
to do what you can

to make a favorable outcome
as likely as possible

Which brings me to
young Mr. Schoenberg.

Well he has been a formidable ally...

And it continues to be.

Well, he's very smart, but I'm afraid

that he is not prepared
to the Supreme Court, Ms. Altmann.

Lead her through
of a complex appeals process

It's one thing, but Washington?

It would be like sending a boy home from school
to the battle front.

He thinks?

I'm willing to pay for it
the best representation from now on.

The person I have in mind
is for art restitution

like.. Einstein is
for relativity.

He did his homework
of his process.

Let's say he knows what he's doing.
Can I ask him to call you?

You can ask to give
a turn around the pool table.

I stay with the boy from school,
Mr. Lauder.

Definitely.

He repeated attempts

to cancel this case...
For the defense it was nothing...

Honey, we have to take Dora
her mother and then go to the hospital.

- Should I speak louder?
- Honey, your water broke.

- Speak louder… what?
- My water just broke.

Okay, stay calm, stay calm.

- He is well?
- Honey, I'm fine.

- You're going to have a baby right now.
- I'm aware of that.

Okay, I think you should wear this tie
and this shirt in the Supreme Court.

This is the one your father gave you.

You have to take me to the hospital,
and then you have to go

to Washington; you have to do this

- for all of us
- Wait, wait.

- Are you sure about that?
- Listen…

Whatever you said,
I want you to know that I'm on your side,

and even if you don't win,
we will deal with the situation.

Anyway,
we'll be fine.

Yes.

Is doing
the most correct.

Suck on a cough drop.

It has a cherry flavor.

I'll leave it here for later.

My dear...

Even if we don't go any further,

we went all the way
all the way to the Supreme Court.

And that's a long walk
for an Austrian girl like me.

Can you point me in the direction
from the bathroom, sir?

Great, now repeat,

but now with an American accent.

If you talk like that
no one will understand you.

He can talk.
He looks like a fool from Frankfurt.

I'm a man,
not a sausage.

Maria Altmann!
Which one of you is Maria Altmann?

- I.
- Oh.

Telegram to Mrs.

It's my sister's.

Wait for us in California.

But he received news from Vienna.

Your father?

We will hear the argument
next in process 0313.

The Republic of Austria
versus Maria Altmann.

Mr. Gould.

Mr. Judge President,
and I hope to please the court,

I will make a succinct argument, sir.

This is an internal matter for Austria.

It has no place in
American courts.

Thank you, Mr. Gould.

Mr. Franks, representing
the United States Government.

Your statement
opening, please.

Mr. Judge President,

If these laws were enforced
retroactively,

This could open cases against
a number of foreign states,

which would complicate things even more
our international relations.

Give me an example.

There are currently cases pending against
countries such as Japan and France.

So what are you saying
is that Mrs. Altmann

shouldn't complain
your paintings

because this would affect
our relations with Japan?

This would be a possible precedent,
Mr Judge.

Mrs. Altmann,

It appears that if your case progresses,

world diplomacy
will collapse,

and the responsibility will be
exclusively yours.

Mr. Schoenberg.

Mr. Judge President,

I hope to please the court...

because we believe that appealing to AISE
is not retroactively prohibited.

Because it's not equally easy to say

which has retroactive effects?

Hmm? Because the question is,

"When jurisdiction should be exercised

for a particular purpose?"

Sorry, I don't believe it
have understood the issue.

I'm not sure either
to have understood.

Does anyone understand?

We are very sensitive

to the Government's concerns,
Mr. Judge President,

of the argument
from Pandora's box.

But each country is different
and poses different conditions,

On the contrary, for example,
of Cuba, in the case of Austria,

there is a treaty, so
There is no doubt as to what type

of law can be applied.

We suggest opening the box

and just remove this case

with tweezers and then return
to close it again.

The defense in this case

tried continuously
frustrate our attempts,

lifting all
possible objections,

threatening with an Apocalypse
in international relations,

but let's put things
in another perspective.

This is a case of a woman
who wants to get back what is rightfully hers.

Mrs. Altmann came to America

still young in search of peace.

Let's give her justice too.

Thank you, Mr. Schoenberg.

Mrs. Altmann, was surprised
for seeing the US Government

supporting the Austrians
in an attempt to dismiss the case?

Certain people would like
for me to hurry up and die.

Why not the Americans too?

David Pike, court reporter.

It was impressive in there, without a doubt.

Oh! Thank you. R-R-Randy Schoenberg.

It takes about three months
until the verdict is known,

but there is no chance of
who will win.

- OK.
- I've been doing this work for 34 years.

I always get it right.
It's in your body language.

Well, thank you... that's one
lively way to end the day.

- Always on orders.
- OK.

- Very good, congratulations.
- Good luck.

OK.

Hello, Nathan.

He waved at you.

Oh.

Hello, friend.

Baby, can you stop looking
to your watch every two minutes?

Hello?

OK.

Yes.

You can't give up yet.

The fight goes on.

The Supreme Court ruled in our favor.
We can take the Austrians to court.

Thanks.

From the first moment I saw you,
I knew he was the right man for this.

That's why I ignored
all the bad things.

I thought this was
the outcome I wanted.

Of course, we'll go with them to court.

They will try other ways
to push, you know.

This may take a few more years.

She may not live long enough to watch
the outcome and we don't have the money for it.

Baby, we've come so far.
We can't stop now.

There is one more thing that
we could try.

As a gesture of reconciliation,

I am willing to allow the paintings
stay at Belvedere.

Everything you have to do
is to admit that they took them illegally.

Yes, and then, of course,
reach some understanding

regarding the issue
of compensation.

I'm sorry but we won't
do nothing and that's it.

Can you help me understand the position
inflexible who are taking?

We won't pay for something
that we believe to be ours,

and we will fight with you until the end
before we give in to this.

Arbitration in Vienna.

-Randy?
- We chose...

one of the mediators you choose,
the other and the third is neutral.

Now you're being sensible.

That doesn't seem like a reasonable idea.

Randy, can I talk to you
in private please?

Excuse us.

First make me accept

a mediation and now this.

Are you crazy enough to
believe that a mediation in Vienna

Will you vote in our favor?

Honestly, I don't believe
let us have another chance.

That means going back to Austria.

Maria...

Listen to me.

I can not stay here
I'll discuss it with you, ok?

I'm doing what I want
seems to be the best.

Now, you just have to stay calm
just once and trust me.

No, Randy, I won't stay calm.

No.

He arrives.

Congratulations, Dr. Dreimann.

His tactics worked.

I'm not going to keep playing this game.

Goodbye, gentlemen.

Goodbye, Mrs. Altmann.

Maria...

Beautiful, Maria, very beautiful.

Do not want to talk to you.

Well the feeling is mutual,
but we have no alternative.

He finished. No.

It was a mistake.

What ended?
What are you saying?

I'm saying we should accept defeat.

And get back to what's left of our lives.

Gone mad?

I'm saying I'm tired
and that they can keep the paintings!

What am I saying, Randy,
is that, from this moment on,

I no longer need your services.

You are kidding with me?

I gave everything I had.
I'm full of debt.

My wife and my children,

everything that interests me
in this world,

and you have the nerve to...

Everything I did, I did

to be able to recover
the damn paintings!

I wish I never
had asked him.

And you have the nerve
to come here and tell me it's over?

We're so close, you...

Wait.

The Austrians will never give up.

Never.

But I won't allow
let them humiliate me again.

Go back to Vienna if you have to,
but this time, I won't go with you.

It's on you, Randy.

Arbitration can be
financially bearable,

but it is also a risk.

The man we chose
to be one of the mediators

It's a safe bet, but I'm worried
with the other two, I can't lie.

The one chosen by the Austrian State
He is a strict traditionalist.

I don't see him deciding
in your favor.

As for the third...

Well, it's a game.

Let's wait.

I never thought I'd come back,
and personally,

to be honest,
I don't think it's the right decision.

You're betting on how
Austria has changed.

- Hello.
- Goodnight.

It starts in two minutes.

Yes, two tickets please.

Has the same name
of the composer.

What a coincidence.

The Austrian Government provided us

your case in writing
for our reading.

Mr. Schoenberg,
also had the opportunity

to do the same, but he chose

for presenting
the introductory points

of your oral argument.

You can make your presentation.

Thank you sir.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm pleased to be here today
before you for two reasons.

First, like mine
opponents in this case,

I always believed that this
it was an internal matter for Austria,

that should be decided...

within its borders.

The first time I came for myself.

This time I came for him.

And the second reason I like

is to be in Vienna again,

because my client,

Mrs. Altmann and I
we are both Austrian.

But don't get me wrong
we are also very American

but... our families
and the roots we share

are part of the culture
Of this city.

Somewhere in the heart of this world

there is a woman by whose portrait

both sides are disputing:

Adele Bloch-Bauer.

During my visits
I understood this country

that there are two Austrias,
one who oppose restitution

to the victims of Nazism,

but also another,
that recognizes injustices

committed against the population
Jew from Austria,

and against all odds
try to correct them.

As I hope to have demonstrated
in my written argument,

the law favors restitution.

A chain of events
and crimes

point to the indisputable fact

that the paintings in question
went to Belvedere

and there they stayed
more than half a century

in a way that was
or dishonest or illegal,

and that Adele's own will
has no legal validity.

Therefore, ladies and gentlemen,
This is a historic moment.

A moment when the past
asks for something from the present.

For many years outside these
terrible things happened.

People barbarized
other people,

persecuted,

sent many of them to their deaths,

destroying entire families.

And they stole them.

Your assets, means of subsistence,

very precious objects to them.

And among these people
were the Bloch-Bauers,

the family of a dear friend of mine.

So I ask you now,
as Austrians,

as human beings,

that recognize the error.

Not just by Maria Altmann,

but for Austria.

Look at that.

When I was a child,

my father used to
bring me here on Sundays.

Yes, me too, for waffles
and ice cream, yes.

My father was a remarkable man.

When I was little,
she looked at him with pride.

I adored him.

And I wanted to be like him
when he grew up.

When I was 15 I discovered
that he had been a Nazi, Maria.

A passionate follower
of the Third Reich.

All my life I've been trying
make up for my father's sins.

Every day I ask myself

how could he have become
the person he was.

And every day, I try
get away from him.

You are a good man, Hubertus.

A good man.

And now?

Yes.

Come on.

My heart is racing.

We the arbiters ponder
both sides of this complex case.

Trying to keep an open mind

As we check the evidence,

and we reached a verdict.

Our decision today is that
the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer

and other paintings
of Klimt in question...

they must return to their niece...

Maria Altmann.

For the first time in a long time

I'm proud to be Austrian.

Oh, it must have.

It's almost time for the newspapers.
How am I?

Sexy and victorious.

- Oh yeah?
- How am I?

She's sexy and victorious.

Mrs. Altmann, may I
say a word?

Yes of course.

I'm defeated...

but I ask you,
I beg you,

beg...

don't leave these paintings
leave their motherland.

Let's get to one
understanding.

I'm sure we can
make a generous offer.

I'm sad for them too
not stay in Adele's country.

But throughout this process,
I tried to negotiate,

I tried to keep the dialogue open,

and throughout this process
frustrated my intentions

and closed the doors in my face.

So now...

I am tired...

And my aunt will cross the Atlantic

to make America her home,
like I did a long time ago.

Goodbye, Mrs. Altmann.

I think our friend should
be in need of some attention.

Yes.

He said we wouldn't have
been successful without you?

No.

Maria?

Just a minute, Randy.

He is well?

Thank you my love.

Thank you from the bottom
from my heart,

for everything he did.

But my mistake
was thinking that this,

that this would make everything okay,

to get better.

It didn't stay, you know.

Because I left them here.

I left them here, my love.

Maria.

The time has come, hasn't it?

Come here, my dear.

Now I'm leaving.

Is doing
the most correct.

But I do not want.

You have to go, Maria.

You have to move on.
There is no future for you here.

America will be your home.

Yes, Papa.

And so, from now on...

we speak in the language of your future.

When our family
came to Vienna,

Maria...

they were not rich.

We work a lot.

We did everything
what we could to contribute

and to be accepted.

We are proud
of what we did,

and we are proud
of what we are.

No one can take that away from us.

And now...

the moment you leave...

I only ask
One thing, my dear.

What is it, Papa?

Remember us.

Take us in your heart,
Maria, and learns to be happy again.

Then...

now?

I've been thinking about that
smart Mr. Lauder.

I think I want Adele
Go dedicate yourself to her gallery.

My only condition is that she
always be on public display.

This way everyone can
marvel at her.

After all, he is too big
to my house.

You will be able to buy a new house.
Buy whatever you want.

I would like to have a new one
dishwasher.

You know, your grandfather
I would be proud of you.

It's keeping the memory alive.

Well, I didn't do it alone.

Excuse me
for a moment?

Clear.

Can I help you?

I know this house.
May I take a look at it?

Clear. Please.

Maria, Maria come here,
bring the noose.

68 YEARS AFTER THE PAINTINGS
THEY WERE TAKEN BY THE NAZIS

THEY WERE RETURNED TO MARIA ALTMANN.

AT THE REQUEST OF MARY THE PORTRAIT
BY ADELE BLOCH-BAUER

IT IS NOW ON PERMANENT DISPLAY
AT NEUE GALLERY IN NEW YORK.

IT WAS ACQUIRED BY RONALD LAUDER
FOR 135 MILLION DOLLARS.

WITH THE MONEY EARNED FROM MARY’S CASE,
RANDY SET UP HIS OWN FIRM

OF LAW, WHERE HE SPECIALIZED
IN REFUND OF ART.

PLUS, HE PAID FOR A NEW BUILDING
TO THE LOS ANGELES HOLOCAUST MUSEUM.

MARIA CONTINUED LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE
AND WORKING IN YOUR STORE

YOU DONATED WHAT YOU RECEIVED FOR THE PAINTINGS
TO FAMILY AND MANY INSTITUTIONS

OF CHARITY, INCLUDING
THE LOS ANGELES OPERA.

HE DIED IN 2011 AT THE AGE OF 94.

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN 100 THOUSAND WORKS
ART TAKEN BY NAZIS

HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED
TO THEIR LEGITIMATE OWNERS.
