Editor's Notes:
The US Gov't pursued this matter; the German government did not pursue it despite urging by the US. Nevertheless, because the Dresden Museum was the last apparently legitimate owner of the work prior to its acquisition by Isaac Silberberg, Germany is listed as the complainant nation.
