... Woman In Gold ... Inspires Bi-Partisan Bill In Washington DC ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

What makes this particular crime

even more despicable

is that this art theft,
probably the greatest in history,

was continued by governments,

museums and many knowing collectors

in the decades

following the war. 

This was the dirty secret

of the post-war art world,
and people who should

have known better,
were part of it.

Ronald Lauder

Mr. Lauder's quote was given
as testimony, earlier this week,
at a Senate hearing.

Helen Mirren,
who starred in 
Woman in Gold,
also testified.
