tell a friendA panel of experts advised the Dutch government to return only one painting out of 189 claimed by relatives of a Holocaust-era art collector.
The Advisory Commission on Restitution Requests, Cultural Goods and World War II asserted that descendants of the art collector Nathan Katz and his brother, Benjamin, failed to prove that the brothers had been in possession of some of the 188 paintings they claimed, or that the brothers were pressured by Nazi occupation forces into selling the paintings.
The committee, in a report published Jan. 24, advised the government to return only one painting, “Portrait of a Man with a High Hat,” which is currently on display at the Museum Gouda near Utrecht. The painting is the work of the 17th century Dutch master Ferdinand Bol.
Relatives of the brothers, who have made several claims since 2004 for the return of the artwork, say they owned all 189 paintings. Many of the works, they claimed, were stolen by the Nazis and then came to be in the possession of Dutch authorities.
Nathan Katz died in 1949 and his brother in 1962.

The bounties of war? I don't know all the circumstances, but It seems that in this case, there is some evidence the paintings are stolen property. If it turns out to be true, then return the paintings – they are not yours.
Happy Birthday Rob.
"The Dutch government has for many years followed an anti-Semitism-promoting immigration policy."
A quote from an article. Like America, Britain and France it doesn't screen or even demand that immigrants be loyal to their adopted country. Instead they're allowed to bring their fascist jew-hating, infidel hating ideologys with them and allows them to promote these same ideologies with the help of groups like CAIR and most universities.

This is not the first time they do this in Holland because in Rotterdam , where unfortunately I was born a museum acted like their nose was bleeding and keep stolen Jewish art so everyone thinks here they can follow in their footsteps way not? They got away with it to.So maybe a good thing to give the Jewish children a little monument after all this years to shut everybody's mouth about more things like a bank in Dordrecht practically gave Jewish things they gave them to watch over.
to get rid of it and I did not hear a word being spoken!
