1. RETURN THE PAINTINGS, NOW.
DEBRA ,   USA   (01.24.06)
AUSTRIA IS KNOW AS THE MOST STUBBORN EUROPEAN NATION IN RETURNING LAND AND PERSONAL PROPERTY STOLEN FROM THE JEWS DURING THE HOLOCAUST. FROM THIS ARTICLE, ONE CAN SEE IT'S LIKE PULLING TEETH FOR THE AUSTRIANS TO GIVE BACK THE PAINTINGS TO THE RIGHTFUL JEWISH OWNER IN AMERICA. LET THEM GO--THEY ARE NOT YOURS. THEY BELONG TO THE JEWISH LADY. HAVE SOME SHAME FOR BEING NAZIS.
2. The NAZI thieves would remain thieves
Ann ,   USA   (01.24.06)
It is obviously very hard for thieves to give up the loot.
3. She offered a deal, was ignored, now gets it all. Mazel Tov!
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (01.24.06)
4. Austrian racism
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.24.06)
It's good to see that anti-semitism is alive and well in Austria. It's hard to believe that we still have to deal with these people. This country is in denial of its past involvement with the Nazis and I agree with Debra...Show some shame!!!
5. Better dead than Jew-owned
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.24.06)
A age-old nazi philosophy of "better that cultural icons and material of import be destroyed than let their rightful owners and heirs control and own them." The Arabs have followed that same philosophy. For example: The Tomb of Joseph on the West Bank destroyed by the PA and the Buddhist Statues in Afghanistan destroyed by the Taliban.
6. Put them on loan to Israeli Museums
Elle ,   NYC   (01.25.06)
That will really P.O. Austria and will be such a gift to Israel.
