This discussion builds on the repatriation issue and the ethics of museums.
When the Nazis swept through Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, they stole art. Lots of it. Much of the art was stolen from families shipped to concentration camps or forced to emigrate to other countries.
What happened to this art when the Nazis were defeated in World War II? Well, that is a complicated story.
When the allied soldiers defeated Germany, much of the art moved into private, gallery, and museum collections. It was not returned to its original owners, in part because some of the owners counted among the 6 million people killed in concentration camps.
And while most people would likely agree that the art should be returned to its rightful owners, this is a complicated process with many factors and stakeholders.
Let’s consider this complicated and tragic issue.
