The descendants of a German Jewish woman will be given restitution for silverware forcibly taken from her by the Nazis in Munich, after intervention by the magazine of\u00a0B\u2019nai B\u2019rith International<\/a>, the Jewish organization said on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hermine Bernheimer \u2014who was born and raised in G\u00f6ppingen, Germany, and later moved to Munich \u2014 was adhering to a 1939 Nazi order that Jews must turn over precious metal objects to their local pawn shops when she reliquished a silver cup she owned, according to\u00a0B\u2019nai B\u2019rith Magazine.<\/em>\u00a0She was later deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and murdered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her great-niece Naomi Karp first learned about the silver cup in January 2020 from Dr. Matthias Weniger, head of provenance research at the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, which had the item held in storage for decades. Karp proved her relationship to Bernheimer, but she and her extended family had been waiting since April 2021 for the Bavarian Ministry of Science and the Arts to sign paperwork releasing the item to Bernheimer\u2019s family.<\/span><\/p>\n

After\u00a0B\u2019nai B\u2019rith Magazine\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Dina Gold reached out to the ministry, asking why the objects were still being held by the national museum, the ministry signed the paperwork last month. Bernheimer\u2019s family has decided to give the cup to the Jewish Museum in Goppingen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled that the logjam has been broken and grateful for Dina\u2019s help,\u201d Karp said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weniger commented, \u201cThere can never be a truly happy ending after all that\u2019s happened. But I look forward to handing the cup, at Naomi and her family\u2019s request, to the Jewish Museum in\u00a0<\/strong>G\u00f6ppingen, to be a permanent memory of Hermine\u2019s terrible fate and that of so many others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

B\u2019nai B\u2019rith said more details about Bernheimer\u2019s silver cup and its history will be featured in magazine\u2019s winter edition.<\/span><\/p>\n
