In a major victory for the descendants of Jewish families who suffered during the Holocaust, a $25 million Nazi-looted masterpiece is set to be returned after an 11-year-long legal battle. The painting, a 17th-century work by the Dutch master Pieter de Hooch, had been seized by the Nazis from a Jewish family in the Netherlands during World War II. The family's heirs have been fighting for its return, claiming that the painting was taken without compensation or restitution. The long-awaited decision marks a significant step towards justice and accountability for the victims of Nazi atrocities.
