Helen Mirren, Lawmakers Push to Recover Art Stolen by Nazis

More than 70 years after Nazis plundered the troves of art owned by victims of the Holocaust, lawmakers are teaming up with Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren to shine a light on the thefts — and help ensure that the works are returned to their rightful owners.

"The very act of Nazi expropriation was not only unjust but it was inhumane," Mirren told lawmakers on Tuesday. "And yet, still today, it seems there are still some out there who lack the will to recognize the victims and their families as rightful owners."
