Subject: Stolen Nazi Art

Hello,
     My name is Bill Jeffers and I am a graduate student researching
stolen 
Nazi art.  Basically I see only two choices when it comes to this.  They

are 1. Give the piece of art back to the rightful heirs or 2. Fight the 
accusation.  I was wondering if anyone out there had any experiences or 
information that can help me weigh the pros and cons of each choice.  I
do 
feel that if it can be proven that a piece of art and/or an object in a 
collection was indeed acquired by the Nazis and therefore stolen, it
should 
be returned to the heir as soon as that fact can be established.  Even
if 
the piece is the "crown jewel" of your collection.  Keeping it
regardless 
will have serious consequenses down the road (public perception,
declining 
attendance, donations [both monetary and object], etc).  Thank you for
your 
time in this matter.

Sincerely,
Bill Jeffers
