Children of Uranium
Recently I have heard rumours of a musical theatre and installation called “ Children of Uranium” that is to be staged next year somewhere in Germany. It is supposed to have been inspired by the suitcase (it might have been nr. 66) Tulse Luper found in Italy during WWII when he was locked up in a tower in Turin and by the fiction Luper is supposed to have written on the content of this suitcase later on. The suitcase contained an assortment of rocks, metals and small stoppered bottles, specimens or acknowledgements of the first 92 elements of the atomic table, from hydrogen up until uranium.
There has been an investigation in 1976 into this suitcase, at the same time a novel by Primo Levi was published, it was called “the Atomic Table”.
I need to find out more on this matter...

Suitcase 19 - passports
At the moment I am collecting and sorting the passports that were discoverered in this suitcase. I still need to do some research on the history of the suitcase. I have not found evidence yet of where and when it was packed, nor by whom, nor how it got lost. I do know that it was found in a lost properties office in Antwerp. Hopefully I will be able to publish some of the content next week.
