Raymond J. Dowd will discuss the
story behind Nazi looted art, through
forced and coerced transfers, and the

return to its lawful owners.

marks and other matters.
Richard A. Herman, a local copy-
right attorney and chairperson of
the event, and co-chair attorney
Jonathan H. Schwartz of the Jewish
Bar Association of Michigan are pro-
ducing the event to share the moral
importance of the return of such art
to its owners, as well as its interest to
the community as a whole.
Attendees will also learn about
laws passed in the wake of looting to
return stolen art to its rightful owners
and the extent to which those laws
have been successful via the explora-
tion of past and ongoing cases.
Moderating the event will be
Howard Lupovitch, an associate
professor of history and director of
the Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic
Studies at Wayne State University.
