	Marc Chagall Le Père, Oil Painting, 1911	Heirs of David Cender. Claim of Restitution made to Paris Museum for the Art and History of Judaism.	David Cender survived the war and in 1958, in France, he submitted a request for war loss compensation from the government of West Germany, but was unsuccessful.

In 2015 Mondex Corporation began researching the painting and in 2020 submitted a restitution claim, which the museum accepted.

This exception came to be when the Assemblée Nationale passed a bill pertaining to the restitution of Le Père and fourteen other artworks, on February 21, 2022.
