Heirs Sue Auschwitz Museum for Return of Art Created Under Nazi Orders

The daughters of Dina Gottliebova Babbitt, a Holocaust survivor, are suing the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum to recover watercolor paintings she was forced to create by Josef Mengele. The case tests legal claims for restitution of art created under duress in Nazi camps, with the museum asserting the works are part of its historical collection. The outcome could set precedent for similar claims against state-owned Holocaust-era collections.
