Though nothing could compensate Holocaust victims or their families for the atrocities that the Nazis committed, the reclaiming of family treasures stolen by the Nazis brings some sense of pride and peace. The movie, Woman in Gold, tells the story of one woman's quest to recover a stolen family portrait. Today's guest, E. Randol Schoenberg, (played by Ryan Reynolds in the movie), is the attorney who took her case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and the Austrian judicial system - and won. And guest, Simon Goodman, just like The Monuments Men, is in the process of tracing his grandparent's art collection, stolen during the Holocaust. Their true struggles are both heroic and bittersweet.
