Hubertus Czernin (more fully, Hubertus Alexander Felix Franz Maria Czernin von und zu Chudenitz; 17 January 1956 - 10 June 2006) was an Austrian investigative journalist. Born in Vienna to Felix Theobald Paul Anton Maria Czernin von und zu Chudenitz (1902–1968) and his wife Franziska née von Mayer-Gunthof (1926–1987), he helped expose the Nazi past of former United Nations Secretary-General and Austrian President Kurt Waldheim. Czernin is noted as a main character figure of the 2015 film, ''Woman in Gold'', where he is depicted by Daniel Brühl. ==Career== He wrote initially for the news weekly ''Wochenpresse''. In 1984 he was hired by the Viennese magazine ''Profil'', eventually becoming its editor. Czernin's investigation of Cardinal Hans Hermann Groër revealed that he had had sex with over 2,000 young men, starting in the 1950s and ending in the 1990s. Czernin was the first journalist to gain access to records at the Austrian Gallery in Vienna and, in 1998, published a series of articles about the ownership of five famous paintings from artist Gustav Klimt, proving that claims by Austria that they had been donated to the gallery by Ferdinand or Adele Bloch-Bauer were false. The articles led to the passage of Austria's Art Restitution Law, which allowed the family of Maria Altmann, the niece of Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, along with Altmann's lawyer E. Randol Schoenberg, to pursue claims successfully to the Klimt paintings that had been looted from her uncle during World War II (see Republic of Austria v. Altmann). A United States Supreme Court ruling allowed Altmann to sue the Austrian government for ownership of the multimillion dollar Klimt paintings in the United States. Hundreds of families had looted art restored to them, or restitution made, under the new law. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hubertus Czernin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
