German Museum to Return Nazi-Looted Stern Art
CANADIAN JEWISH NEWS
GERMANY---On March 5 in Berlin, Concordia University will reclaim a painting that belonged to the late German Jewish art dealer Max Stern before the Nazis forced him to sell off the holdings of his Dusseldorf gallery in 1937. This is the 10th artwork recovered since the Concordia-led Max Stern Art Restitution Project was launched 10 years ago. The only information being released at this time is that the painting is from a German museum. The Restitution Project, directed through Concordia’s office of the president, works in close collaboration with the New York state-based Holocaust Claims Processing Office, as well as the Art Loss Register, Interpol, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other institutions and governments agencies worldwide. The first painting was restituted in 2006. [link]
