The Nazis seized an apartment building owned by my great-grandmother. Then it was in East Berlin so we had no hope of getting it back. Then Germany re-unified and we had to fight for it in court for a decade. When we finally got it, we had to sell it for a reduced rate due to price controls or pay to renovate it to bring it up to modern German code. We sold it. We didn’t get a pfennig of the rent money the family the Nazis gave it to made for decades. It feels like we were taken advantage of from the 1930s onward.
