Three 16th century oil paintings that have been hanging in William Randolph Hearst's famous castle at San Simeon belonged to a Jewish couple who were forced to give them up during the Nazi reign in Germany, authorities said Tuesday.
Two of the three paintings, visible to guests and millions of tourists at Hearst Castle since 1935, will be returned Friday to the heirs of the rightful owners, both of whom died during the war, one in the death camp at Auschwitz.

Curious about the timeline. If the pictures were hanging in Hearst Castle since 1935.....???
Heil Helen!
Nazis were in power, and persecuting Jews, long before the war itself.
Although then the statement that this is yet another reminder of the scope of Jewish persecution during World War II. does seem out of place, doesn't it?
Agreed. The time-line is not right. Hitler came to power in ‘33, became Fuhrer in ‘34. He did not begin rounding up future victims until the late ‘30’s.

this is a flash
Must be a typo. I think they meant Helen Thomas was hanging out in the Heart Castle back in 1935.
“Two of the three paintings, visible to guests and millions of tourists at Hearst Castle since 1935, will be returned Friday to the heirs of the rightful owners, both of whom died during the war, one in the death camp at Auschwitz.”
WoW!
No wonder Helen fits in well with them.
Lying crook!
Thanks. I wasn’t aware of this.
From your link:
“Hitler had the support of the most widely circulated magazine in history, Readers Digest, as well as nineteen big-city newspapers and one of the three great American news agencies, the $220-million Hearst press empire.
Hearst…was the lord of all the press lords in the United States. The millions who read the Hearst newspapers and magazines and saw Hearst newsreels in the nation’s moviehouses had their minds poisoned by Hitler propaganda.”
I wish all Liberals would get the hell out of America, we're a people occupied by morons.
Where should they go??
Russia, Venezuela, I don't know Western Europe even.
