A Czech court has awarded a Canadian family a European art collection assembled by their Jewish grandfather before the Second World War and later confiscated by the Nazis and then the Communists. “The family has been fighting for more than 14 years to gain title to and possession of some of the estimated 140 art works — including paintings by Gustav Klimt, James Ensor and Oskar Kokoschka — owned by their grandfather, businessman Oskar Federer. Many of the works are housed in small public galleries in the cities of Ostrava and Pardubice.”
