More about:

Before World War II, Amsterdam had a booming diamond industry, run predominantly by Jewish traders. In 1942, those traders were rounded up and forced to hand over all of their diamonds and now, almost 70 years later, photos of that theft have been found.

Is that an actual picture of him stealing diamonds? If yes then I don't understand how did the photographer kept his mouth shot. Stealing diamonds is almost impossible in the world of today, I know it from some business people that sell diamonds Arizona, I can imagine back then it was pretty much the same.

The Nazis robbed, plundered,ransacked, murdered,destroyed most of Europe; they let loose the whole contagion of Hell and opened many veins that bled nations to death, they were just damned sons of Hell.
