This bill is good, it helps people get back stolen art. It affects everyone.

I can't believe some people are still trying to defend the passage of time as a reason to not return Holocaust Expropriated Art. This bill is long overdue in clarifying that excuse is not valid. It's about time we hold those accountable for their actions. This bill affects all those who have been wronged by the theft of art during the Holocaust. #JusticeForHolocaustSurvivors
