A slightly different approach this morning. This story raises all sorts of questions about property and the state.
The painting, looted by Nazis from a wealthy Jewish family in 1933, is recovered by the heirs.
There's a lot to unwrap here, my gift to you this morning!
wonder if they'd ever do this with imperial loot
all loot is good loot. "Federal authorities were contacted as Mosse Art Restitution Project manager J. Eric Bartko was working to get the painting returned from the museum. FBI agents recovered the painting in September 2019." In other words, what was legally looted by the German government in 1933 was legally looted by the US government in 2019.
