The article reconstructs the discomfort resulting from the discovery of the collection of Cornelius Gurlitt (1932-2014) containing more than a thousand pieces of valuable works of art plundered by the Nazis in the service of Hitler between 1933 and 1945. It shows that the German state granted possession of the works to the Gurlitt family and reports that the dispossessed families, in contrast, began to claim their ancestors' heritage as soon as they discovered their whereabouts. And, finally, it presents this tension as a complex dilemma between justice and memory.
