Claims of Nazi loot donations denied by Hunt

ALLEGATIONS that Nazi loot was donated to the State by the late John and Gertrude Hunt were denied by the couple’s son yesterday.

John Hunt Jnr, speaking from his home in Howth, Dublin, said: “my mother who was German, left Germany because she did not want to be part of what was going on before the war and wanted out. After the war she returned to visit her mother, not to buy art.

“It is rather horrid for your parents to be accused of associating with Nazis without a shred of evidence.”
