In the Basque Country, a Resistance fighter's daughter recovers her father's wallet 80 years after his deportation.

With the help of volunteer investigators, the International Center for Nazi Persecution Archives located in Bad Arolsen, Germany, is working to return deportees' personal belongings to their descendants.

This is how the now 80-year-old woman received her 'papa's' wallet.
