The Dallas-based group is offering rewards of up to $25,000 for information leading to the recovery of each cultural object featured in the deck.
The deck, being sold through the foundation and the National WWII Museum in New Orleans, is a nod to a U.S. military tradition that includes a deck featuring the most-wanted fugitives from the Iraq War and one from WWII designed to help soldiers identify aircraft, Bottinelli said.
McKeogh said that in some cases, people haven't realized an artwork’s past until taking it to a gallery or an auction house. Robert Edsel, founder and chairman of the Monuments Men foundation, said that for those who do realize they own looted art,"this is a chance for people to do the right thing, to come forward, to address the problem.”
The foundation gets frequent calls from people wondering about objects from the war, and has over the years helped return more than 30, including a 16th century tapestry taken by a U.S. officer from Adolf Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest retreat near the end of the war. The officer's family gave the tapestry to a German museum in 2016.
