Washington, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) introduced the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act (H.R. 6130) to help return to the victims’ artwork and other cultural property that was stolen by the Nazis during the Holocaust. By establishing a six-year federal statute of limitations for these claims, the bill will help facilitate the return of Nazi-confiscated artwork to its rightful owners or heirs. The legislation will ensure that American law encourages the resolution of claims related to Nazi-confiscated art on the merits, in a fair and just manner.
