metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The relevance of the topic raised in this article is justified by the importance of the issue of restitution
  of cultural property after the Second World War and the interest it arouses in society at the current stage of development. During the time that has passed since the defeat of Nazi
  Germany, many former owners of works of art, from whom the Nazis requisitioned their collections,
  have regained their artifacts. The process of restitution continues up to the present.
  The idea of restitution arose from the idea of protecting cultural property from encroachment.
  And if shortly after the war, the families of former owners of works of art tried to return their
  art property from private collectors, now lawsuits are usually directed against museums. One
  of the well-known restitution cases in recent years is the lawsuit against the New York Museum
  of Modern Art, which is an attempt to return family values by the descendants of the
  German artist Georg Grosz and collector Alfred Flechtheim. Dispute resolution has not yet
  been brought to its logical conclusion. The purpose of the article is to establish the problems of
  returning the lost cultural property that was illegally acquired by the Nazis during the Second
  World War and sold to museums, as well as to private collectors. Today, many of these works
  of art are owned by American collectors or museums. The descendants of repressed cultural
  figures who suffered from the Nazi regime demand the restoration of their rights, through the
  restitution of art artefacts or compensation for lost works of art.
