He doesn't have to give up the paintings without a fight. We can just do to him what his father and his cronies did to the last owners of that artwork.

Very self-righteous over keeping stolen Jewish property. The Arabs could make him an honorary Muslim

Spoken like a true Nazi....denial, lies, hate. Why do the evil ones live long lives?

In my opinion & I have thought about this for decades, H-Shem wants mankind to choose Him above the fear that He will shorten or harm the lives of those who sin. After life itself, the freewill to follow the moral & ethical precepts of H-Shem & do good, is the greatest gift we have received from Him.

...I'm not sympathetic to this old wretch. He knew all along that the paintings were stolen.

... to legally acquire stolen art. And the doubtless handsome, multi-sealed documents of sale executed by some Nazi thug does not constitute legal provenance by any stretch of the imagination.

The paintings are not his to keep. The paintings are stolen property that must be returned to its rightful, legal owners. Proof, he hide the existence of the paintings. He never disclosed the fact that the paintings were in his possession. Only when he needed money did he sell a painting.

The horde of belligerent est. Euro thugs and squatters "does not constitute legal provenance by any stretch of the imagination".

There is no law that says he must broadcast his Art collection and he probably kept them secret just like Germans to ward off the usual deluge of fraudulent claims Just like the Christian "God" left Israel to the 'Jews' except Gurlitt has more proof of ownership. with has numerous signed and sealed documentation.
