Show Notes
When Antony Easton’s enigmatic and distant father passes away, he begins sorting through suitcase filled with cryptic clues.
Neatly stacked German money, a family tree he doesn’t recognise, and books filled with sprawling notes. He also finds his father’s birth certificate, but bearing a different name.
Confronting his dad’s double identity, Antony begins a ten-year quest to uncover the truth.
Piece-by-piece he comes to understand his family’s dark history.
Large numbers of his relatives were murdered by the Nazis and a vast fortune was stolen from his grandparents - factories, property and art – which now lie scattered across Germany.
Antony is determined to find the descendants of those who looted his family’s assets and continue to live off their wealth today. He sets out to meet them face to face.
