The find has brought up a range of new questions: How did the jewels end up in Canada? What happened to the other valuables the Habsburgs took with them when they escaped from Europe following the outbreak of the Second World War? And who does this treasure actually belong to? A comprehensive historical reconstruction traces the paths the jewels took and attempts to answer the many questions surrounding them with the aid of renowned experts.
