Doctoral Researcher uses Archives - Holocaust-related Matter Unfo lds



In today's 'Wall Street Journal', front page, is an article about Wertheim
(Hertie's)  stores in Germany. A doctoral student, using a Potsdam archives,
uncovered a damning hand-written contract and other information regarding
what is now an incredibly valuable store chain, and it properties, many on
central Berlin prime real estate.  About as much finger-pointing and
confusion as the Enron matter....Wertheim descendants in the US have faced
many obstacles in dealing with recovering this property.
