Gifted to a bar mitzvah boy in 1936, a rescued book reunited two families. What other stories do Nazi-looted books tell?

JL;DR SUMMARY A book given to an Austrian-Jewish boy for his bar mitzvah in 1936 has been reunited with his surviving family members. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
