This document, which has remained in the hands of a secret society for several decades, would also reveal the hiding places of jewelry, paintings and various objects confiscated by the Nazi regime.

More than eleven sites are listed in this journal written seventy-five years ago.

This is the Hochberg Palace (16th century), located not far from Breslau (now Wroclaw) in the historic region of Lower Silesia, in southwestern Poland.

The large quantity of gold, partly coming from the Reichsbank, would be stored in a disused well located in the park.

The loot, buried 60 meters underground, is estimated at several billion euros.

Making amends for the atrocities committed by the Nazis

The journal, bearing the name "Michaelis", has long belonged to the Masonic Lodge in Quedlinburg, Germany, also known as the Lodge.

A secret society to which many members of the SS belonged.

In 2019, the Lodge bequeathed the “Michaelis” in Poland to the Silesian Bridge Foundation.

It was then a "gesture of reparation for the atrocities committed by the Third Reich in Poland during the war", relates

.

After expertise, the diary was indeed written around 1945, without this proving its authenticity, specifies an advisor to the Ministry of Culture in Poland.

It now remains to examine the eleven sites pointed to by the document.
