| Collection: | (MG) Moro Giafferi--Youngest member of the Paris bar, Vincent de Moro-Giafferi was one of the most colorful and relentless criminal defense lawyers in inter-war Paris. He even defied Hermann Goering in his defense of those accused of having set the Reichstag fire in March 1933. Moro-Giafferi made the short list of high-priority targets once the Wehrmacht occupied Paris in June 1940. His entire Paris apartment was emptied in November 1940. |

| Provenance and Comments: | The Rose Valland crate inventory indicates that an object labeled as "MG 11 127" was in crate Gruppe IIb 1. There is no MG 11 127 anywhere in the ERR inventories. Hence, we deduce that the object MG 11 was not inventoried properly and that the number 127 belongs to another collection, possibly Spiro since there are many Spiro objects in this crate. |
