The Gutmann Family’s Tragic Loss

Season 22 Episode 6 | 4m 58s

Fritz Goodman’s silver collection was highly sought by Hermann Göring during the Nazi looting of Europe. As his grandson Simon Goodman explains, Gutmann was promised safe passage to Italy if he would sign over the silver. Instead, in a move of pure deception, he and his wife were sent to Berlin for interrogation by Göring’s agents—including Bruno Lohse—and ultimately to Terezin concentration camp.
