"Birechush gadol": France is exerting efforts to locate the heirs of hundreds of art works that are in its area and belonged to Jews before World War II.
These days Tom Zaldorf, 82 year-old American Jew, will receive from a French museum six paintings which were owned by his grandfather during World War II. The elderly is a grandson of a Jewish industrialist who immigrated to France and sold his art collection to save his family from being deported.
The return is after legal proceedings which were held on the matter.
Another painting will be returned descendants of Joseph Weiner, a Jew from Prague who was in banking, whose private collection was confiscated by the Gestapo.
Experts say thousands of stolen works of art are in France, but locating the owners is a complicated operation.
