The City of Linz fully acknowledged that Aranka Munk was a victim of Nazi persecution and restituted the painting to her heirs in 2009.

BRUSSELS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Belgium's leading art museum has returned a painting it held for 71 years to the great-grandchildren of a Jewish couple whose property was looted by the Nazis after they fled on the eve of World War Two. The family's Berlin-based law firm approached the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels more than five years ago and on Thursday, after a briefing signing ceremony, workers took down the painting and wheeled it off to be packed. "Altogether the family is looking for 30 artworks," said lawyer Imke Gielen. "This is the first that has been really identified because unfortunately we have no images of the missing paintings."

"Recommendation of the Advisory Commission for the Return of Cultural Property Seized as a Result of Nazi Persecution" (PDF). Archived from the original (PDF) on 13 April 2021. Retrieved 14 April 2021. This case concerned the painting "Bauernmädchen ohne Hut mit weißem Halstuch" ('Peasant Girl without a Hat and with a White Headcloth') (1897) by Wilhelm Leibl. The Advisory Commission recommended that the German Federal Government return the piece to the heirs of Dr Alexander Lewin. The recommendation is based on the following facts: Dr Alexander Lewin (1879 – 1942) was the Chairman of the Board of Management at the hat manufacturer Berlin-Gubener Hutfabrik AG until 1938. His comprehensive art collection included Leibl's 'Peasant Girl'. In summer 1938, Dr Lewin emigrated to Switzerland as a result of persecution, having been identified as a so-called 'Jewish Mischling (half-breed) of the first degree'. At the beginning of September 1938, Dr Lewin left the Board of Management at Berlin-Gubener Hutfabrik AG and in early March 1939, he gave notification that he would not be returning to Germany, which led to him being denied access to his entire estate as a result of a so-called 'security order' issued on 10th March 1939. On 4th August 1941, the German Reichsminister of the Interior deprived Dr Lewin of his German citizenship. His property was seized from him. The painting 'Peasant Girl' had come into Dr Lewin's possession at 1930 at the latest. In May 1938, the commission agent Litthauer from Berlin tried to sell the piece to Galerie Heinemann in Munich at Lewin's request, but the gallery did not buy the painting. By spring 1939 at the latest, the painting ended up in the hands of the German Reich, namely in the "Fuehrerbau", Adolf Hitler's office building in Munich, where the artwork for the planned "Fuehrer Museum" for Hitler in Linz, Austria, was being gathered.

On the day the Nazis entered Brno, March 15, 1939, the Gestapo confiscated Dr. Feldmann's villa, which contained amongst other possessions his valuable collection of drawings. Dr. Feldmann and his wife had to flee the villa within a couple of hours of the occupation. Shortly afterwards, Feldmann was arrested by the Gestapo, imprisoned and tortured at the infamous Špilberk prison and consequently died of a heart attack in March 1941. He was 64 at the time of his death.

In 1971, Spencer Samuels, a New York art dealer, acquired the Cranachs from Stroganoff, which were sold to the Norton Simon Art Foundation. The Norton Simon said in a statement it believes the Dutch government transferred the paintings to the Stroganoff family as a restitution of claims that arose from the auction before the war. In her complaint, von Saher said the paintings were wrongly returned to Stroganoff because although the Cranachs were sold with Stroganoff's collection, the diptych had come from the Church of the Holy Trinity and were not owned by Stroganoff.

In Detroit Institute, the museum asserted that Michigan's three-year statute of limitations precluded the court or a jury from deciding the merits of the case. According to the museum, the claim was time-barred because it had accrued in 1938, when Ms. Nathan originally sold the paintings to the same European art dealers who purchased the Gaugin "Street Scene in Tahiti" painting at issue in the Toledo Museum case. The court agreed with the museum that the claim had been filed too late and that the discovery rule, under which the clock on the claim would not have begun to tick until the heirs discovered or reasonably should have discovered the basis for their claims to the painting, did not apply. That meant that Ms. Nathan would have had to bring a claim against the museum no later than 1941, when World War II raged across Europe and when Ms. Nathan could not have known that the museum had the painting.
