We extend our gratitude to @AGRobBonta for supporting the Cassirer family’s battle to recover the Pissarro masterpiece looted by the Nazis from Lilly Cassirer in 1939. It remains a mystery and a scandal that Spain stubbornly refuses to return the painting.
“Finders keepers might work on a playground, but it shouldn’t work in a court of law,” says AG @RobBonta regarding the decades-long international case of a Camille Pissarro painting stolen by the Nazis in 1939.

What an honor for Dexter and me to say that David Schaecter, a survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, is a wonderful friend.
Let us honor all survivors every day but a special prayer today: #HolocaustRemembranceDay.
Congress can help survivors.
