Film
The first two films, which chronicle the life stories of Friedrich Guttsmann and August Liebmann Mayer, were presented on 23 February 2023 as part of the opening event for Kunst, Raub und Rückgabe – Vergessene Lebensgeschichten at the Bode-Museum. Following the viewing, the event moderator Shelly Kupferberg spoke with Ann-Charlott Mörner, the granddaughter of Friedrich Guttsmann, as well as with Gilbert Lupfer (Deutsches Zentrum Kulturgutverluste), Rüdiger Mahlo (Jewish Claims Conference), and Hermann Simon (founding director of the Centrum Judaicum Berlin) about the project, about memory, remembrance, and the importance of provenance research. Miriam Friedmann, granddaughter of another victim of Nazi persecution whose plight will also be depicted as part of the project, also got an opportunity to address the attendees in a video greeting.
