CRI听力:Swiss Museum to Accept Collection from Son of Hitler's Art Dealer
A Swiss museum has agreed to accept hundreds of pieces of art bequeathed to it by late German collector Cornelius Gurlitt.
However, pieces looted by the Nazis during World War II will not be permitted in at the Bern Art Museum.
Around 500 works are expected to remain in Germany until their rightful owners can be identified.
Efraim Zuroff is with the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
"What I think is the most important issue here is whether or not those works of art, which were confiscated by (from) Jewish owners, will ultimately be returned either to those owners, or to their heirs. And this has to be the major consideration in any step of this sort."
German authorities seized over 13-hundred pieces from Gurlitt's apartment in 2012 while investigating a tax case.
Gurlitt was the son of Adolf Hitler's art dealer.
He died in May at the age of 81, naming the Bern museum as the "sole heir" of his estate.
