SUMMARY: On the eve of World War II, Nazis seized a Monet painting from Adalbert Parlagi’s family in Austria, leading to an 80-year search for its return. Recently, the FBI presented the pastel, “Bord de Mer,” to Parlagi’s granddaughters in New Orleans. The artwork, depicted as part of the Nazis’ campaign against Jewish cultural heritage, was recovered with the help of a nonprofit organization. Despite many challenges in reclaiming looted art, the family expressed gratitude and hope, aiming to inspire others facing similar situations. They still seek six more missing artworks, highlighting ongoing issues within the illicit art market.
