some 34 paintings, 32 drawings and five sculptures that had remained in Czechoslovakia were given in trust by the Nazis in 1943 to the newly created Gallery of the City of Moravska Ostrava, where Federer's Vitkovice mills had been renamed the Hermann Goering Works, after Hitler's second in command. Included in the "loan" were paintings by Munch, Max Liebermann, André Derain and Kokoschka.Amazingly, 20 of these paintings -- and possibly more -- are still housed in this same small Gallery of Fine Art in Ostrava, now a bleak industrial city of 320,000, where the works are freely acknowledged as having once belonged to one Oskar Federer.
