Sadly too many German museums/politicians are still very unwilling to return the looted art to there rightful owners. Instead of cooperating the attitude is more of indifferent stonewalling and collectors claiming good faith when buying art made by Jewish painters.

The Monuments Men Foundation are one of the biggest groups also trying to locate the missing art, on their web site they have a listing of the “Most Wanted” Art and Documents. They also have a lot of information about the items they have recovered. Check them out https://www.monumentsmenfoundation.org/
