This claim is brought on behalf of the heirs of the late Dr Arthur Feldmann in respect of four drawings now in the possession of the British Museum. The claimants contend that they lost possession of the drawings on 15 March 1939 when the drawings, together with the rest of Dr Feldmann’s large collection, were seized by the Gestapo in his villa in Brno, on the day the Germans invaded Czechoslovakia.2. The claim clearly falls within the ambit of our Terms of Reference (annexed at Appendix 1) which provide that our task is to “consider claims from anyone ... who lost possession of a cultural object during the Nazi era (1933-1945), where such object is now in the possession of a UK national collection ...”.3. Three of the drawings were acquired by the British Museum at auction from Sotheby’s in 1946, and the fourth in 1949 as part of a substantial bequest from a former Keeper of Prints and Drawings, Mr Campbell Dodgson.
