Nazi plunder during Hitler's regime and particularly during World War II was arguably the greatest theft of cultural property in history. Its aftermath lingers still: more than sixty years later, efforts to find looted art and return it to its rightful owners continue on both sides of the Atlantic. This panel discusses some recent such efforts, from those connected to the case of Max Stern (featured in the exhibition on view, Auktion 392: Reclaiming the Galerie Stern, Düsseldorf) to other recently closed and ongoing cases, including some in Florida.
Participants:
- David Glasser, Executive Chairman, Ben Uri, The London Jewish Museum of Art (moderator);
- Howard N. Spiegler, Partner, Herrick, Feinstein, LLP; Co-chair, Art Law Group, New York;
- Dr. Roger Ward, Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson.
Auktion 392: Reclaiming the Galerie Stern, Düsseldorf runs from September 17--December 8, 2013 at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the campus of Rollins College.

Thank you so much for sharing with me this so special event, which echoes an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen. It must have been a painful odyssey it is to recollect such memories and to recount them. The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality. In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises: "He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war." My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness. Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind. The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.

Perfection in a human does not exist. We all stand in need of improvement. God bless and Amen.
