Nazi-looted Stradivarius is recovered by French researcher
NewsOur colleague Pascale Bernheim is on the front page today of Le Parisien for tracking down a violin stolen by the retreating Germans in 1944 from the National Museum in Warsaw.
The instrument, known as the Lauterbach Stradivarius and dated 1719, was placed for safety in the museum in 1939 by the family of its late owner Henryk Grohman.
Pascale’s organisation Musique et Spoliations aims to restore looted objects to their rightful owners.
The hunt now commences for its rightful owner.
I think Poland owns it as Grohman gave his possessions to the state in his will did he not?
I bet it was found with all the classified documents at tRump’s resort house in Florida ’cause he’s a literal Nazi too!
Could’a saved themselves a lot of hunting if they had just put an Apple AirTag on it.
