Nazi-looted art found in German parliament: report

That degenerate art that was worth so much. 
Art theft seems as a subheading of war and revolt. It is now one of the unspoken tragedies of the Arab Spring turned Winter in Egypt. Ancient relics are being unearth, stollen, and sold. We seem to not hear about this. It conflicts with the administration's sick narrative and coverup. m/r

Nazi-looted art found in German parliament: report - Yahoo News Canada

By Madeline Chambers 12-30-13
BERLIN (Reuters) - An art historian has found two art works stolen by the Nazis inside Germany's parliament, a newspaper reported on Monday, in a new embarrassment for authorities after a huge stash of looted art came to light last month.
The Bundestag, in a statement issued after the report in Bild newspaper, said an art historian was reviewing two "suspicious cases", but a spokesman would not confirm the find.
The art historian's investigations into the German parliament's art collection, which began in 2012, were continuing, the Bundestag spokesman said.
"It is unclear when there will be a result to the investigations," he said.
Last month German authorities revealed that a trove of Nazi-looted art, valued at 1 billion euros ($1.38 billion), had been found in a Munich apartment.
That collection had been held for decades by Cornelius Gurlitt, the elderly son of an art dealer of part-Jewish descent who was ordered by Hitler to buy up so-called 'degenerate art' and sell it to raise funds for the Nazis.
