Answer: Hitler

The Nazis certainly made off with a lot of valuable art, but what Pop-Pop (their grandfather) had was different. He had a picture of a German Shepherd (Blondi?) that was signed by Adolf Hitler. The problem was that Pop-Pop was dying, and nobody knew how valuable the picture was.

In fact, it had been painted over, thrown out, retrieved, and sold, changing hands many different times. After they finally found the picture, one of their friends admitted that he painted over the original. It is thrown in the fire as worthless, and left to burn.

The audience sees the painted-over picture burn off, and the revelation of the original portrait that bears Hitler's signature.
