It is comprised of conversations overheard in the Transit Bar which lead to an inquiry into the Kunstraub (art theft) policy of the Third Reich and the fate of missing artworks brought secretly to Hitler’s boyhood hometown, Linz, and destined for his proposed Fuehrermuseum there. The story unfolds through the juxtaposition of archival lists and photographs, bar talk, transcriptions of interrogations and the memories of people who witnessed the events.
