  • good point. that seems to have been forgotten. People with disabilities were also deemed to be deficient by the nazis. As were the elderly, the infirm and the ill. What I find ironic is the fact that many people now proclaiming themselves to be nazis fail to understand that under the 'real' nazi movement, they too would would have been exterminated. Hitlers parameters for the so called 'super race' were so narrow that the majority of the western population would have failed to meet his criteria

  • great, can we now have back all the stuff america stole ?

  • @darius28z Exactly!

  • such bullshit this guy doesnt care about the painting he wants the cash!! blame all you wANT then every government should give back everything they stole from every one starting with the indians,

  • @TheDiane1953 The Spanish state is not responsible and has no reason to feel shame. Nonetheless if the picture was taken illegally then it needs to be returned and the entity who sold the picture needs to refund the museum. (The same needs to happen throughout the purchase chain.)

  • If the Inca sued it might work. But they didn't. Quichabichin.

  • Mr. Cassirer deserves to have his family's painting back. It is immoral to retain such a property, stolen by the Nazi government. This video shows how western culture permits such extortion and theft if an excuse can be provided.

  • This man deserves his painting back,or a full reimbersment !Spain should be ashamed for keeping stolen property [from the nazis].They should at least be fair with this man and reimberse him.This is so typical of what the German nazis did,they destroyed so many peoples lives.

  • @arka67 no no no christians were originally from the middle east in black you know its the truth in religion was actually a adherence to societal avdancement

  • @arka67 no lets compare what have really acomplished most of the world is still 3rdworld pple starve in nobody cares when millions die in the europeans who have the power to stop this wont and in fact caused most of this
