Stolen Nazi Art Hoard Goes to Museum

[longknife]

An estimated $1.3 billion in paintings not seen for half of a century willed to the Bern Art Museum. Why? Nobody knows but the work begins to decide who really owns what so it can be returned.

Have you seen Monument Men? Based on a true story and involves this. The Nazis had plans to destroy it all when Hitler died but those guys saved a lot of work.

At least those nazis had an eye for aesthetics and art. The AGW democrat nazis wiped out all of the historic incandescent street lights in my historic town in the name of their global warming fascism.
Democrats are stupid nazis.

Inventory Ipcress


There could be untold treasure troves of items in the halls of art stolen during the war-era of the Nazis.

Interesting to note is that modern art seems very much invested in socialism theories that can be unusually coordinated with Nazism nationalism --- it is odd that such general hysteria could yield patterns of obedience-mandated regularity.

Remember Warhol's consumerism-themed soup can paintings? Say hello to today's MTV gangsta-rap music videos featuring fictional hypothetical African-American inner-city youth gangs staging harmless street fights with toy water-guns rather than real guns. Socialism has a sentimental head in our modern age of consumerism culture (i.e., Facebook).

Items recorded as art retrieved from the Nazi era signify a global investment in geo-politics mediation, if spun with the right populism propaganda (i.e., Macolm X paintings).

Awhile back, wasn't there some hoopla about Barbra Streisand owning a stolen painting by the nazi's and refusing to give it up to the rightful Jewish owners?

Why is this museum getting what has been stolen? Has every effort been made to try to find the families of the people it belonged to?

Better to be displayed in a museum than locked away in some Jew's basement.

If it was stolen from your family, would you feel the same?
