Holocaust survivor's family told to return artifact to Berlin

Holocaust survivors have sued to get family treasures back, maintaining stolen goods should be returned to their owners. Now one survivor's family has been ordered to surrender a treasure on those very same grounds. It's unclear how Riven Flamenbaum got an ancient, passport-photo-size gold tablet after he was freed from Auschwitz, but he brought it with him to America thereafter. Only after his 2003 death did his family learn it was a 3,200-year-old Assyrian artifact that had gone missing from Berlin's Vorderasiatisches Museum following the war. Rerversing an earlier decision, a court says the $10 million relic must be returned to the museum, but Flamenbaum's family has vowed to appeal, saying he wanted it kept as a reminder of 'that bitter time.'"
