Maria Altmann escaped the Nazis. Sixty years later, she waged a historic battle to recover her family's prized possession -- five paintings by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt.
A documentary film directed by Jane Chablani. Produced by Martin Smith, Roger Grant and Gilonne d'Origny. The story inspired the 2015 film Woman in Gold starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds.

Thank you will never going to be enough.
Not because the paintings were made by Klimt, for me could be even a piece of cloth or a plastic spoon. The invaluable value is Justice.
Last year l went to Viena for the first time and visit the Judenplatz memorial. I got on my knees and prayed for all the Jews and their surviving families. And l just cried, alone and begging to God: Never again.
May their memory never be forgotten by all mankind.
Best from a christian in Uruguay.
