Through the historical documents in the film, the viewer discovers what Aryanization means. In Austria, Aryanization was the repossession of Jewish property and wealth as of 1938 to fund the Third Reich and repurpose property wealth into the possession of Aryan applicants. This remains a truth that is difficult for the German and Austrian public to come to terms with today. This highly complex bureaucratic process is daunting to decipher for even trained archivists, demonstrated through the establishment of nine archives in Austria alone, all dedicated to aryanization files.
