> And then there's the issue of art and other valuables taken from Jewish families in Germany during WWII. If, let's say a famous painting hanging in a museum turns out to be one of those stolen ones, should it be returned to the rightful owner? What if the rightful owner is dead? Should it go to the heirs? What if it doesn't turn up for another 100 years?

There is an organisation (I forget its name) trying to do exactly that, down to tracing every gold tooth that ever passed through a concentration camp. They seem to be having more success than I would have imagined possible, too.
