    File - A crowd of over 10,000 gather for the opening of the Terror House, a museum dedicated to the horrors of communism and the building where people were interrogated and tortured, Budapest, Hungary, in this Sunday, Feb. 24, 2002 file photo. People spied on by Hungary's communist-era secret police would have the right to destroy their surveillance reports under a government proposal historians say would damage the country's ability to acknowledge its past. Maria Schmidt, director of Budapest's House of Terror museum, said she hoped lawmakers would rethink the plan. "If these files are handed over, facts and connections will be no longer be able to be researched," Schmidt said. (AP Photo/Eileen Kovchok, file)

    FILE - In this July 30, 2010 file photo, visitors look at the collection of paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary. The Hungarian government says it has asked a U.S. court to dismiss a lawsuit by the heirs of a prominent Jewish collector who seek the return of art worth over $100 million seized during the Holocaust. The Ministry of National Development said Tuesday Feb. 15, 2011 that the suit filed last year by the heirs of Baron Mor Lipot Herzog in the U.S. District Court in Washington should be dismissed, among other reasons, because compensation for the 44 artworks is covered by a 1973 claims agreement between Hungary and the United States.
