how's your Russian?
Glasnost on War's Looted Art, in today's New York Times.
10,000 items of "displaced cultural treasures" (paintings, archives and rare books looted by Soviet forces in Germany and Eastern Europe during and after World War II and taken to Russia- although much of it was pillaged in the first place by the Nazis from their victims), are being listed on Restitution.ru, but the site is only in Russian.
My PC only displays some of the fonts, and what I can try to read is really, really small. I'd be very slow help.
There's also lostart.de, which was set up by the German government in 2000. It's got English, German, and Russian options.
