Supreme Court Orders Reconsideration of Case Involving Nazi-Looted Painting

Summary: The Supreme Court has mandated a review of the Cassirer family's $30 million claim to a Pissarro painting held in Madrid's Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. The painting was forcibly sold to Nazis in 1939 for $360 for the family's escape from Germany. This ruling could establish a precedent for Holocaust survivors and their heirs pursuing the return of stolen art. A newly enacted California law tailored to assist the Cassirer family will be applied to assess the case's validity.
