'Theft', a joint exhibition by the Jewish Museum Vienna and the Wien Museum (Vienna Museum), explores the looting of property by the Nazis, tracing stolen objects from their theft, to museum vaults and their eventual restitution. The exhibition marks twenty-five years of provenance research in the City of Vienna collections. “Theft” is of particular interest to us because it features a painting the Gestapo seized from our family. The circumstances surrounding our connection to the painting, its rediscovery, restitution and donation to the Vienna Museum are publicized for the first time in this exhibition and accompanying catalogue.
