THOMAS, Circuit Judge.
Descendants of Jewish art collector Margarete Mauthner (collectively, “the Or- kins”) claim that their ancestor was wrongfully dispossessed of a painting during Hitler’s Nazi regime, entitling them to ownership of the painting, which was later purchased by actress Elizabeth Taylor.
