Jewish Heir to Recoup Nazi Loot
According to USA Today, a German court ruled yesterday that a Jewish man is the rightful owner of a rare poster the Gestapo seized from his father in 1938. More importantly:
The ruling set the stage for the return of the entire collection of thousands of posters taken by the Nazis, which are now worth at least U.S. $5.85 million.
The ruling means that the court has backed the claim of Peter Sachs of Sarasota, [Florida] on the surviving portion of his father’s collection — some 4,000 posters at the German Historical Museum in Berlin[.]
