Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act Becomes Law

Normally, Congress is so gridlocked that it can’t be bothered to pass anything that voters want unless it moves through the budget reconciliation process, but the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025 has cleared the House and Senate and has been signed into law by Donald Trump.

House.gov:

“Washington, DC – On Monday, April 13, after years of advocacy by Representative Jerrold Nadler (NY-12) and the Jewish families whose artworks were looted by the Nazis, the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery (HEAR) Act of 2025 was signed into law. Representative Nadler, the lead House Democratic sponsor of the legislation, released the following statement:

“Finally, after years of bipartisan and bicameral effort, the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025 is the law of the land.

“More than 100,000 works of art that were stolen by the Nazis from Jewish families during the Holocaust remain unrecovered. Together we confronted this unacceptable and repugnant reality, which continued to allow entities and individuals to profit off the Jewish people’s pain. Now this new law will further help these families in their legal battles to seek justice in our courts. …”

Congress is spending the next week commemorating the Holocaust.
