US court rejects claim against Germany over Nazi treasure AFP 3/02/2021 AFP © TOBIAS SCHWARZ The Guelph Treasure, now exhibited in Berlin, was sold at discount prices to the Nazis in 1935 by a group of German Jewish art dealers.
The US Supreme Court rejected Wednesday a suit by the heirs of Nazi-era Jewish art dealers for compensation from Germany for a storied collection of medieval art treasures.
The court ruled unanimously that Germany had sovereign immunity in US courts from claims over the Guelph collection of gold crosses, jewels and other religious works from the 11th to the 14th centuries.
But they avoided comment on the merits of the claim that a group of art dealers was illegally forced to sell the collection at cut prices in 1935 to Prussia, then run by Gestapo founder Hermann Goering, as the Nazis increasingly threatened Jews.
