Court Victory For Family Seeking Nazi-Looted Art

“A Canadian family scored a major legal victory yesterday when a judge in the Czech Republic agreed that they should gain possession of a valuable art collection — believed to be worth millions of dollars — assembled by their Jewish grandfather, then later confiscated by the Nazis and the Communists… [T]he decision, which will be issued in writing late next month, will likely be appealed. That appeal could take more than a year, with the case possibly going as far as the Czech Republic’s Supreme Court. As a result, it might be as late as 2008 before the collection ends up on Canadian soil, if ever.”
