When an art historian sees the Gurlitt name in any text, the first thought should be: is it a lie?

A opportunist  a looter and a liar, Hildebrand Gurlitt played a crucial role in Nazi art looting. His whole family was involved. Lying about the origins of paintings, lying about how they obtained the artworks, lying about the destruction of artworks, lying about the Gurlitt's role obtaining artworks for Hitler's museum, lies, lies lies.

The Scandal of Gurlitt just goes on and on. Opaque. Impossibly slow. With pathetically poor results. 

Seriously, it's time for investigative journalists to get involved.
