How will Germany deal with Nazi-looted art in the future? The federal, state and local governments want to announce this on Wednesday after long discussions. Despite some improvements for the victims, only a stopgap solution emerges.
Since the new wave of anti-Semitism, since the attack on the synagogue in Halle and of course since October 7, 2023, German politicians have been tirelessly and rightly warning against anti-Semitism. Since the election successes of the AfD, for whom National Socialism was just a “fly-shit”, they have complained about the forgetfulness of history and the indifference of those who support the end. But when it comes to righting the wrongs done to Jews at the hands of Germans, such as the largest art theft in history, some of these same politicians are very quiet.
