1. Legally bought from fleeing Jews?
Mira ,   Vienna   (12.26.13)
Whom is he going to fool? They have been forced to sell them for a hot soup or maybe just to be allowed to get out of the country!
2. Catostrophic Focus
Zechariah   (12.26.13)
The Focus ought to have been using money Jewish German assets in 1932 were 10 Billion Reich Marks to pay the Jewish Green Berets like Bugsy Segal and the Irgun to kill hundreds of Top Nazis.A military Coup would arise supported by the West and USA as a counterweight to Stalinism.Jews could have flooded Mandated Palestine Forcing a Islamic Jewish Realapoliticic Superpower.
3. Hot Loot

Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.26.13)
...during WWI from evangelical PM David Lloyd George, and his Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour. "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own." -- Walter Rothschild
7. Art belongs in NY Holocaust Museum
Benji ,   US   (12.26.13)
Transport it to New York where it can be put on display. This art work was looted and stolen from Jews. It will be a black mark against Germany until art returned to Jewish institution.
8. Forgot a detail ,...
split ,   US   (12.27.13)
H. Gurlitt's maternal grandmother was Jewish that makes him a Jew, also 9 out of 10 of those 1500 pieces wwre confiscated from German museums ,...
9. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.27.13)
In a great many cases, the provenance is clear. Don't you think the artwork should be restored to the families to which it belongs? Moreover, if it goes to any museum, it should go to an Israeli museum. Jewish-owned art, if no true owner can be found, belongs in the Jewish State.
10. #9 Of course
Benji ,   US   (12.28.13)
The artwork should be returned to the rightful owners or their heirs. Unfortunately, many if not most, are now deceased. The artwork should go to the museum that can best showcase this work. A solution that would allow for more exposure would be a traveling exhibit.
11. #8 Wrong side of the family. It was his paternal grandmother
Jake   (01.23.14)
Elisabeth Gurlitt, who was Jewish. So, wrong, as usual.
