When the Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps, often the Germans then occupied the houses. I know there is much done to track the artworks that were stolen but what about the houses? I may soon want to buy a house that was in a former Jewish community. How do I know if it has an 'untainted' past? (aside from asking that is!)

All their property was seized and confiscated
Check the papers for your house. Any claims should be entered in the Deed

The houses were also seized by the Nazis.
You can check property records and compare the years that the property changed hands.

Well, lets just say it 'somehow' much of it ended up in Switzerland......
The artwork is easier to track, and I though I heard something about stolen art being recovered not long ago. Its not like you can sell that artwork easily.
