LOS ANGELES, 2009 — An elderly Holocaust survivor from San Diego can continue his legal battle against a Spanish museum to reclaim a valuable painting he says was taken from his grandmother by the Nazis, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that 88-year-old Claude Cassirer’s case against the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid and the Spanish government can go forward.
