An End to Restitution of Nazi Looted Art?
By Ulrike Knöfel
For years, it has been widely accepted that artworks looted by the Nazis should be returned to their rightful owners. But now a prominent British expert has called for a stop to restitution -- and triggered protests in the art world.
The art connoisseur Sir Norman Rosenthal may be a British institution, but the equanimity often attributed to his compatriots is not one of his distinguishing features.
Rosenthal, 64, was the leading curator at London's Royal Academy for more than 30 years. Considered the public face of the institution, he was knighted for his achievements. His vibrant passion for art is legendary. He helped make British artist Damien Hirst and his peers famous when he staged the exhibition "Sensation" at the Royal Academy. Last year, he left the museum where he had caused many a stir -- and shocked the British and others yet again.

... restitution is morally right ...
... and so it should be imposing restitutions ...
... to all the wall street banks and companies ...
... that benefitted out of the raise to power of nazism ...
... particularly the heirs of standard oil ...
... should pay compensations to the nazi concentration camps victims ...
... should restitute the british ...
... the rights of the saudi arabian oil fields ...
... and the costs of the war damages of the bombing of london ...
... and should restituite all the nations of the second war ...
... the cost of the damages ...
... caused by the financing of the raise to power of nazism ...
... also wall street banks ...
... should restitute the heirs of the tzars ...
... the crown patrimonies they stole ...
... and compensate the other world countries such as argentina ...
... for the usury rates they applied ...
... this if the united state was as moral as its bigotry preaches ...
... and a supporter of "justice" as it portraits itself ...
