Powerful Momentum For RJC-Backed Holocaust Art Recovery Bill After Resounding Bipartisan Committee Approval

Washington, DC - The Republican Jewish Coalition released the following statement after the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery (HEAR) Act was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee today:

RJC CEO Matt Brooks said:

This decisive action by the Judiciary Committee clears the way for extending and improving landmark 2016 legislation that empowers family members trying to recover artwork stolen from Jews by the Nazi regime during the Second World War. We are grateful to the Senators from both parties who worked to produce this bipartisan result. We are grateful in particular to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) who led the way on the original Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act and spearheaded the push to make sure the law was not just reauthorized but improved. And we are grateful to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for a powerful statement affirming the bill as a fulfillment of American leaders' obligation to preserve historic memory and pursue justice for Holocaust victims. The RJC is confident that Leader Thune, Speaker Johnson, and President Trump share this commitment and we eagerly look forward to celebrating the bill's enactment before the end of the current Congress.
