Museum Is Ordered To Turn Over Posters.

BERLIN- Germany's leading historical museum must return a collection of more than 4,250 rare posters seized by the Nazis to the American son of a Jewish dentist who fled Germany, the country's highest court for civil affairs in Karlsruhe ruled on Friday. The collection, which includes prewar advertisements for movies and cabaret shows as well as political propaganda by artists including Wassily Kandinsky, Max Pechstein and Otto Dix was taken from Hans Sachs, a Jewish dentist, when he was sent to a concentration camp in 1938. Sachs later escaped with his family to Boston and his collection eventually became property of the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
