- **Event Description**: About this EventWhat happened after liberation when Jewish survivors tried to reclaim what had been stolen from them?For many families, the end of the war did not bring the end of loss. Homes had been seized, businesses erased, and treasured artworks scattered across Europe and beyond. Survivors who had already endured persecution, displacement, and the M**der of loved ones were often forced into a second struggle: navigating legal systems that demanded paperwork, proof, and patience many no longer possessed.Drawing from her book Stolen Legacies, author and prosecutor Adena J. Bernstein explores how restitution processes frequently placed impossible burdens on those who had already lost everything. Through powerful case studies and family stories, this program examines the emotional, legal, and moral dimensions of recovery, asking what justice can mean decades after genocide.This conversation invites audiences to consider not only who owned the art, but what was taken when culture, memory, and identity were stolen alongside it.About the SpeakerAdena J. Bernstein is an award-winning author, prosecutor, and researcher whose work focuses on Holocaust memory, cultural property, and the legal and ethical issues surrounding Nazi-looted art. She is the author of Stolen Legacies: The Fight for Nazi-Looted Art (2026), which explores the international effort to recover Jewish cultural property stolen during the Holocaust. She is also the author of the memoir Living Among the Dead, which tells her grandmother’s story of Holocaust survival; it received the IAN Book of the Year Award for Outstanding Non-Fiction and has been translated into Spanish and Polish. The granddaughter of two Holocaust survivors, Bernstein examines restitution and cultural memory from both personal and professional perspectives. As a career prosecutor and current Assistant Attorney General, she leverages her legal expertise to explore evolving frameworks governing Holocaust-era art claims. She frequently speaks at museums, universities, and cultural institutions on Holocaust memory, provenance research, and the global effort to recover stolen cultural heritage.
