You know those weird looking figurines on your grandmother's shelves? Those little Aryan children clad in leiderhosen and looking adorable against bucolic backdrops? They are not only worth a "fortune" they were the bane of Hitler's existence....well.....one of them.
Learn about female entrepreneur Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel who sought to create beautiful pieces of art celebrating her students but was hijacked by a greedy convent and thwarted by the Third Reich.
Rob gives Ray a lesson in the history of Hummel figurines, which are worth the most, why they adorn the shelves of our elderly relatives, how Sister Maria created these figurines and how Hitler wanted them stopped, why they made a resurgence in the 1970s, and how to make sure you are paying for legitimate Hummels!
