"Nazis' Stolen Artworks Returned to Holocaust Victim's Heirs by Manhattan Prosecutors"

New York prosecutors returned two modernist drawings seized by Nazis over 80 years ago to relatives of Fritz Grünbaum, a Jewish cabaret performer killed at Dachau, with the pieces valued at $1.5 million and $1 million. Grünbaum's family has spent decades tracking down and recovering stolen artwork, with detailed records offering clues for tracking down the long-ago-stolen pieces. The family has also used proceeds from recovered pieces to fund scholarships for high school musicians from underrepresented communities. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has helped return 10 works of art to the family, with ongoing litigation to recover more pieces.
