DESCRIPTION:The restitution of looted cultural heritage is one of hottest 
 topics of the year. Countless bottles of ink have been spent over what has
  emphatically been portrayed as the ‘biggest art theft in history’ and
  subsequent attempts to ‘make amends’. This paper analyses the process
  of restitution of national as well as Jewish-owned private collections as
  it unfolded in the three main post-fascist Western European countries –
  i.e. Austria\, Italy and the Federal Republic of Germany. Can we indeed t
 alk of a ‘fifty-year wait for justice’\, and how did restitution pract
 ices\, or lack thereof\, contribute to the reconstruction of these nationa
 l communities?
