University admits it should have stopped destruction of Jewish Nazi victims's remains
Visitors look at paintings during an exhibition of artworks that belonged to Jewish families and were looted by the Nazis during the World War II, commonly referred to by the acronym "MNR"(Musees Nationaux Recuperation - National Museums Recovery), at the Palais Rohan Museum, in Strasbourg, eastern France, on October 22, 2022. - An exhibition in Strasbourg brings together twenty-seven works repatriated in 1945, in the hope of being returned one day to their owners or to their descendants. At the end of the Second World War, 61,000 works and art objects from France were recovered in Germany and Austria, and more than 45,000 were quickly returned to their owners, while others were sold by the State. - RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION (Photo by Frederick FLORIN / AFP) / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION / TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Marie JULIEN - RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION (Photo by FREDERICK FLORIN/AFP via Getty Images)

ORANIENBURG, GERMANY - JANUARY 27: Carnations hang at the infamous entrance gate that reads: "Arbeit macht frei", or "Work sets one free" at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial on January 27, 2020 in Oranienburg, Germany. January 27th will mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, the most notorious of the many Nazi concentration camps. The Nazis began the operation of Sachsenhausen in 1936, initially as a prison for their political opponents, but later used it for other groups, including Jews and Soviet prisoners of war. Sachsenhausen was the first camp to test the use of gas chambers for perfecting the mass murder of prisoners. (Photo by Carsten Koall/Getty Images)

LONDON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 06: Art handlers hold Le Pere, a portrait by artist Marc Chagall of his father, during a press preview at Phillips gallery on October 6, 2022 in London, England. Le PËre, a portrait by artist Marc Chagall of his father, was owned by a Polish violin maker who survived Auschwitz but it was seized from him and its whereabouts were unknown for many years. When it resurfaced, Chagall reacquired it for himself in 1966 and it went on to be exhibited in the most prominent museums around the world. The French government is taking action to restitute works of art back to the families and descendants of Jewish people whose homes were looted by the Nazis in WWII. Of the 15 works being restituted, Le PËre is the first to come to auction and is estimated at $6-8 million. It will be sold in New York in November 2022. (Photo by Chris J Ratcliffe/Getty Images)
