New novel explores effort to recover stolen Jewish art

A new novel called “Stolen Legacies” explores the ongoing global effort to recover art stolen from Jewish families during the Holocaust. The book combines historical storytelling, legal analysis, survivor testimony and modern case studies to explain why restitution is still as important today as it is complicated.

Drawing on her experience as a prosecutor and the granddaughter of two Holocaust survivors, the author of the book, Adena Bernstein, examines the legal systems, museum policies, international archives and ethical duties that shape today’s restitution efforts.

Adena Bernstein joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the effort that went into creating her novel.
