Heirless' art to be auctioned

VIENNA - The fate of "heirless" Jewish artworks seized by the Nazis during the second World War will be decided next week when thousands of artefacts go under the hammer in Vienna. Christie's is to handle the sale of more than 8,000 items, including paintings by old masters, ancient busts, and tapestries, valued at some $3.5 million. Proceeds will go to victims of the Holocaust.
