Watch this video! In a dramatic scene from her great new film, intrepid Jewish documentary filmmaker Mooly Landesman confronts Germany's Minister of Culture Monika Grütters about Germany's refusal to return Nazi looted art in private hands. "It's not fair" concedes Grütters. Grütters explains why the German Ministry of Justice hides behind prescription laws. Prescription laws violate Germany's obligations under Article 56 of the 1907 Hague Convention to provide "legal proceedings" for the return of Nazi looted art. Europe should cancel its prescription laws applicable to art looted during wartime. In this video, I explain why. #artlaw #internationallaw #stolenart #museums #worldwarII
