Update!
Artwork stolen from the chaotic times of World War II has returned to Germany after being missing for 60 years. The painting called the "Flagellation of Christ" is an oil painting dating back to the 15th century. It was taken by a British Soldier sometime during the summer of 1945, passed along to an art dealer, and bought by the former the former Indiana State University president, who was unaware that it was a piece of looted art. This painting is just one of over 3,000 paintings missing during this time period. To me it seems like more needs to be done to try and reclaim these important pieces of European culture.
