LONDON, April 28 (UPI) -- The British government will give the family of a Czechoslovakian doctor more than $315,000 for art stolen by Nazi's and sold to the British Museum.
A special panel to determine how to deal with goods stolen during the Nazi genocide and now housed in Britain made the determination, the BBC reports.
Dr. Arthur Feldmann and his wife were killed during the Nazi invasion and the art was taken from them.
His grandson, Uri Peled, now living in Israel, said the museum could keep the drawings because that is what his "grandfather would have wanted."
The three drawings by Niccolo dell'Abbate, Nicholas Blakely and Martin Schmidt were purchased by the museum in a 1946 Sotheby's auction.
David Lammy, Britain's culture minister, said other proposals by the Nazi theft panel will be made public for comment.
"I am currently taking expert advice on how to bring forward legislation to help put right these historic wrongs," he said.
