Dear Mr. Kelly,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the series Cases and Reports Pertaining to Property Administered by the Vienna Area Command (VAC), 1945-1950 of the Property Control Branch of the U.S. Element of the Allied Commission for Austria in the Records of U.S. Occupation Headquarters, World War II (Record Group 260) that includes the file PC/V/VII/119 Grete Haas. The series Cases and Reports Relating to Property and Equipment Released by Vienna Area Command (VAC) to the Austrian Government, 1945-1950 in Record Group 260 includes the file V1.8076/VII Grete Haas as well. The series Correspondence and Related Records Regarding Pending Claims, 1945-1950 contains the file P-1469 Anna Haas; the series Records of Property Released from Salzburg, 1945-1950 contains 4 references to Anna Haas; and the series Claims and Restitution Reports on Property Administered by the Military Government in Salzburg, 1945-1950 includes 1 file related to Anna Haas. We also located the series Claims, 1946-1950 of the Reparations and Restitution Branch of the U.S. Element of the Allied Commission for Austria in Record Group 260 that might include some relevant information. These records have been digitized and may be viewed online using the Catalog.
You may use the National Archives Catalog to search for additional potentially relevant records, and the Advanced Search feature lets you narrow your results by Record Group (e.g. Record Group 260). More information about the Records of the National Archives and Records Administration Relating to Nazi-Era Cultural Property is available on NARA’s website.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
