One of the unfotunate realities of contemporary art history is the terrible toll that Nazi Germany and World War II took on Jewish artists and art owners. So, many people were killed, and so many lives were irreperably changed. As part of their reign of terror, the Nazis stole art from many families (often killing them in the process). Other families were able to escape, but they were forced to leave their art behind. Some of this art has been returned to the rightful owners (or their heirs), but unfortunately, some of it remains out of reach–as this article shows.

Two this day I have never seen one war that solved anything worth going to war for. It is really sad.
