Anyone gazing at a work of art in New York museums will now immediately know if it was stolen by Nazis during the World War II era in Europe.
The Nazis looted around 600,000 paintings from the Jewish community during World War II, according to state officials. New York has one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors in the world.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and Brooklyn Museum have not revealed plans to credit art stolen by Nazis and did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the new state law.a painting called “Artillerymen”' to the surviving family members of the German Jewish art dealer Alfred Flechtheim, who was forced to flee Berlin after Adolf Hitler came to power.
“Teaching and learning about the Holocaust not only commemorates the victims but helps to create a forum for examining the history and evolution of anti-Semitism at a time where we continue to witness xenophobia, unfolding genocides, the ongoing refugee crisis, and threats to democratic values,” Ratner said in a statement.
