US - Tennessee: Nazi Victim's Family Sues Germany for Looted El Greco, Pissarro

The Westfield family's decision to sue Germany for damages is unusual. In most cases, the heirs of Nazi victims have sought the restitution of individual art works. The suit, filed in the Chancery Court for Davidson County, estimates that the value of Westfeld's collection, which also included paintings by Peter Paul Rubens, Arnold Boecklin, Anthony Van Dyck and Frans Hals, would now be ``tens of millions'' of dollars.
