Verdict flip on 'Nazi' art
A federal appeals court has overturned a verdict that denied the heirs of
a Holocaust victim -- including a Manhattan man -- ownership of a valuable
drawing they claim was looted by the Nazis.
The case involves a 1917 work by Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele,
"Seated Woman with Bent Left Leg (Torso)," which Massachusetts sculptor
David Bakalar bought for $4,300 in 1963 from a Manhattan art gallery.
Bakalar filed suit when the heirs of Franz Friedrich Grunbaum -- including
Manhattan stamp dealer Leon Fischer -- challenged his ownership after a
2005 auction at which the drawing attracted a top bid of $675,000.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a lower-court finding that
relatives of Grunbaum, who died in Dachau in 1941, "failed to produce 'any
concrete evidence' " of their allegations.
"Our reading of the record suggests there may be such evidence," Judge
Edward Korman wrote for the three-judge panel.
The drawing was among 449 artworks -- including 81 Schieles -- owned by
Grunbaum, a popular Vienna cabaret entertainer who was forced to sign over
power of attorney after he was arrested and thrown in a concentration camp
by the Nazis in 1938.
Bakalar's lawyer, James Janowitz, said he would likely ask the entire
Court of Appeals to review yesterday's decision.

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro
Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish.
Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro
