The repatriation and reclamation of historical artifacts involve both international proceedings and practically innumerable stakeholders. In History for the Taking, we examine the interactions between relevant bodies in the politics of cultural heritage, including museums, governments, UNESCO, private individuals, and terrorist groups. In each episode, we focus on a different case study, like the Parthenon Marbles, Holocaust art, and the looting of the Iraq Museum. History for the Taking is made possible through funding from the Keck Center of International and Strategic Studies at CMC.

The Other Kind of Immunity: The Challenges of Using American Courts to Reclaim Nazi Looted Art

In our final episode, we discuss art looted during the Holocaust, the efforts of Jewish Americans to reclaim this art, and the challenges posed by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Individuals attempting to reclaim this art using American or foreign courts often face immense difficulties. Claremont McKenna College professor Jonathan Petropoulos discusses several of these cases and their diverse outcomes. We pay particular attention to Republic of Austria v. Altmann, Hungary v. Simon, and Germany v. Philipp. Additionally, we discuss the nuanced issues surrounding the balance between international cooperation and sovereign independence. We conclude the series by returning to the broad issues of justice, legality, and ethical considerations in the complex field of art repatriation and reclamation.
