June 30, 2013

Merkel tells Putin Germany wants looted art returned – During a tour of the Hermitage’s “The Bronze Age of Europe: Europe Without Borders,” the German Chancellor told Putin that it was time to return art seized by the Soviets after World War II.  According to one source, millions of items were ‘stolen’ from Germany at the end of the war … and how much did Germany steal from others?  Wonder if all that are has been returned to the rightful owners?
