Art Dealers’ Descendant Sues Dutch Government For 144 Old Master Paintings Sold To Nazis

VISUAL Posted: December 14, 2018 7:04 am

In 1939-40, Dutch dealers Nathan and Benjamin Katz sold almost their entire inventory, at steeply discounted prices, to the Nazis (among them Hermann Goering himself) in exchange for the ability to get their family members safely abroad. Now Benjamin’s grandson is suing the Dutch government, which recovered the works after the war and placed them in museums, to get them back. — The Post and Courier (Charleston)
