Taylor should be ashamed. No matter what she knew when she bought it, she knows better now.

Ashamed is the word, I don't question her legal title. At her stage in life, I wonder what reward she expects this to bring her.

We seriously need to reintroduce shame into our culture. We can start with politicans and work our way up to normal people.

Andrew Orkin et al v. Elizabeth Taylor (Van Gogh case): Orkin family statement concerning today's refusal of Supreme Court of the US to hear appeal

WASHINGTON and TORONTO, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ - Our family is very proud to have brought this Holocaust-related art claim concerning a van Gogh lost by our great grandmother in Nazi-era Berlin, and taken it to the Supreme Court of the US. We anticipated from the outset it would be a long and tough case, and were not mistaken.

Our claim, like thousands of others in recent years, was prompted by the US 1998 Holocaust Victims Redress Act and related US laws, which were premised on the necessary setting-aside of common-garden statutes of limitations. The knee-jerk application by the courts of statutes of limitation to prevent us from ever presenting our evidence in court does not disprove the fundamental legitimacy of our claim against Ms Taylor.

We have now established -- at least in California and with respect to Ms Taylor -- that these Holocaust "redress" laws were an empty promise.

We look forward to a day when the fruits of genocide-related "thefticide" are restored to their rightful owners without the unjust application of technical defences, and believe we have contributed to this ultimate goal.
