This action involves a dispute among purported heirs to Margaret Kainer's estate over ownership rights to a Degas painting, "Danseuses," which Nazis illegally confiscated from Kainer, who died without a will or children in 1968, and which, many years later, was sold in New York at a Christie's auction. Plaintiffs consist of Kainer's estate and 11 heirs to the estate, according to French certificates of inheritance identifying them as such.
