But
as a reporter, I track people for a living. And I was intrigued by the
difficulties that French authorities report having as they try to find
the heirs to more than 2,000 unclaimed works of art looted or sold under
murky circumstances during the war and now held in French museums.
Over
the past 60 years, the French have returned just 80 of the so-called
orphaned works of art. The rest, some of them masterpieces, sit or hang
in 57 French museums, which are their guardians until the rightful
owners can be found.
