France returned a 16th century painting sold by a Jewish couple fleeing the Nazis, presenting the artwork to the family’s grandchildren in a ceremony.
Since the war, it has been considered one of 2,000 “orphaned” art pieces in France, with its original owners unknown.
“The painting doesn’t even have to have any monetary value. It’s about connecting us to our past and the story of our family that was lost."
