The Simon Wiesenthal Center today commended four leading US Senators, John Cornyn (R-TX), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Richard Blumenthal “When it comes to fully restituting art and property plundered by the Nazis, time is not on our side. We therefore welcome this important piece of legislation, not only for its symbolicsolidarity with the victims of the Nazis but for its potential practical impact in pushing institutions to act fairly with claimants trying to recover part of their family’s legacy andhistory,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the leading Jewish human rights NGO, devoted to imparting the lessons of the Nazi Holocaust. “We are grateful that four distinguished Senators, two Democrats and two Republicans are leading this bipartisan effort and hope that the rest of the US Senate and House ofRepresentatives will act quickly to pass this measure," Cooper concluded.
