New US law will speed recovery of art stolen by Nazis – “Allowing them the opportunity to recover part of their history is a small but significant step that’s long overdue.” | World Israel News

Heirs trying to recover artwork lost to Nazi looting during the Holocaust will get some help from legislation signed Friday by US President Barack Obama.
The legislation will extend statutes of limitations for the recovery of that art so that the heirs can have their day in court. In recent years, courts have sided with several museums on the issue and blocked family members who believe the art is theirs.
