So. The protagonist is a woman.
Her objective goal seems to be to recover family jewels stolen by the Nazis way back when in WWII.
Who is her principal antagonist NOW, in the present? A neo-Nazi descendant of a Nazi? (How long after WW2 does the plot commence? How many 1st generation Nazi’s would still be alive?)
And why she is struggling to do this so many decades after WWII? Why didn’t she pursue this earlier? IOW: What is the inciting incident that makes (or enables) her to pursue the jewels NOW?
And what’s at stake? What does she stand to lose if she fails? She’s already destitute: how much worse can her plight become? Also what is at stake morally as well as materially?

As Nir Shelter said. It is difficult to get a handle on the essence of the story. And some elements don't seem to make sense. She's destitute but can afford to travel to Australia? The family jewels are stolen by a German "youth" -- and then she falls in love with his "grandson"??
