Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025

This bill makes permanent and expands a law that lets people go to court to try to recover artwork and other property that was taken from victims of Nazi persecution between 1933 and 1945. It removes the deadline for filing these claims, though people still must file within six years of finding out where the property is. The bill also makes it easier to bring these cases by allowing courts across the country to hear them, letting claims be filed against foreign governments regardless of the victim's nationality, and preventing defendants from using certain defenses like arguing that too much time has passed or that courts should follow another country's laws instead.
