This is a fascinating look at the attempted restitution of a valuable work of art stolen from a Viennese Jew by Nazis.
It shockingly lays bare corruption in the highest corridors, including museums and art collectors in Austria and New York, a U.S. Senator, and even the most respected news media including NPR.
It's a great story and well worth watching. Evidently the "Wally" case, which lasted decades, was a landmark situation in the world of artwork stolen by the Nazis.
