LA Federation sues museum for custody of looted paintings once hoarded by Hermann Göring...

The Los Angeles Federation filed separate suits Monday against a museum seeking custody of paintings looted during the Holocaust and once held by Hermann Göring. The actions rely on a 2024 California law permitting heirs to refile previously dismissed restitution claims.

The paintings were among artworks seized from Jewish owners by Nazi forces. The federation is pursuing the claims on behalf of the original owners' descendants.
