German crisis meeting called on Nazi art sales (1 Viewer)

It is possible that the German Authorities could hold onto these works of art as an asset held in 'Trust' on behalf of the relatives of those Jews it murdered in the Nazi era.
This is perhaps a way out of this problem, alternatively, the German Museum's could perhaps purchase these works in open auction, naturally they would be expected, this time to actually purchase them with the correct amount of cash thereby recognising the full value.
Either way, yes, it is important that even for a Country such as Germany, with it's sordid past still remembered, should still be able to assume some sense of having once been a cultured society.

This is an interesting article and you would have made a good comment, if you could have managed to leave this part away:

I mean, come on, our museums only can show a small part of the art works they have, so it shouldn't take more than 50 years to give the art works back, which do not belong to the museums.
