...museum. Although his museum has returned art stolen or purchased by the Nazis before, Vogelaar says the Katz claim came as a surprise. "People thought it was over because of the settlement after the war," says Vogelaar, referring to the 28 paintings returned to the Katz family in the 1940s.

Otherwise, why does the U.S. rightly defend Jewish people’s claims on European bank accounts, property, and compensation for labor expropriated during the 1930s and 1940s, while quashing the rights of millions of Palestinians refugees to lands, houses, and goods stolen as a condition of Israel’s founding in the late 1940s? As a nation we seem unconscious of the hypocrisy. The convention that persecuted Europeans had the right to safe havens on lands stolen...
