The German artist Johannes Matthaeus Koeltz fled Nazi Germany in 1937 with his family first into Austria and then via Prague to the UK. He cut up his giant Triptych "Thou Shalt not Kill" and hid the pieces with friends. The appeal by Leicester University to find the missing parts of the Koelz Triptych "Thou shalt not kill" can be found at:
