Wow. That is interesting. I think it'd be neat to own something of that sort, and find out down the road that it was a piece of history.

yes it would be fantastic to own something that may have been pertinent in history. Think of whom would have handled such a painting and what their thoughts may have been at the time. Why was the painting confiscated?

I don't think that it would be 'neat' to own stolen property.

The Nazis stole thousands of works of art (and a lot of other stuff) before and during the war.

The Utah Museum of Fine Art will now have to return the painting to the rightful owners - the family from whom it was stolen over fifty years ago. (Judging by the date on the Deseretnews webpage, it has probably already been returned.)

Because as Mikejonesuk said this piece of art is one of the thousands that the Third Reich stole from the real owners. Is stolen property therefore is a crime. As Mike well said the nazis not only stole pieces of art but they also stole human hair, hairbrushes and shoes between thousands of more items. I would not be interested in owning something (no matter how historical may be) knowing that it was obtained unlawfully.
