some crocodile tears are also in the bag:

Prof. Dr. Hermann Parzinger, Spokesman for the Board of the German Digital Library and President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz): “I am delighted that with the launch of the new online portal the German Digital Library has created a basis for transparent access to collection items from colonial contexts. Users will find a portal in which a wide variety of cultural institutions within a network of many others have already made their collections accessible to a broad public.”
