Really good question. As you must already know, the Jews were encouraged by the gestapo to bring their valuables with them when being arrested, supposedly to have to buy food and of course they were searched and all their jewelry etc. were confiscated immediately distribution of this (after
the SS guards took their fill for personnel gain) was melted down and put in Swiss gold accounts by the Nazis. Evita Peron got her hands of some of it on her famous trip to Europe, which was a payoff for Argentina's willingness to take in wanted Nazis after the war. There are still to this day questionable Swiss bank accounts. The financial gain at the expense of the Jews was enormous.

During the war, the Nazis stole gold, jewelry, and other valuables from the millions of Jews they murdered. The Germans needed a way to place these commodities in the international market so that they could use the money they received in exchange for their war effort. The Swiss helped facilitate the exchange in addition to holding Nazi accounts. Many speculate that some of the gold that the Swiss accepted were the dental gold and wedding rings taken from Jews at the camps.
The Nazis sold the stuff and used the money to help them fight their war. Some was kept by members of the SS, many of whom were corrupt.
In some cases, the Nazis took them. In other cases, the non-Jewish neighbors took them. Many of these possessions have never been returned.

Not really , there might be some testimonials from nazi officers explaining their will to exterminate the Jews ... but no real proof that 6 million died , don't let anyone fool you . if you ask me about it , i'd say it didn't happen ... but only god knows ..
value depends on condition and WHAT the items are.
Soldiers carried a blanket, food, gas mask, canteens, a mess kit, a shaving kit, ammunition, weapon cleaning kit, shovel, bandages, sometimes an ampule of morphine, and personal articles in their kit. Depending on where they were sent, they might have many other items; examples are gloves, earplugs, sunglasses, binoculars, maps. Sometimes soldiers were assigned to carry items that were not for their own use, such as one mortar shell per man, or a gasoline can per man.
