Art and War

This article talks about a recent case where a descendant of a Holocaust survivor tried to sue a museum in order to get a piece of artwork that was confiscated from his grandmother during the Holocaust. The case was dismissed and it made me wonder about the ethicality of allowing museums and especially museums of countries that colonized other civilizations and forcefully extracted culturally significant work, to retain pieces that were obtained in harmful ways.
