Monet pastel is one of 20,000 items recovered by the FBI Art Crime Team .

Monet 's 1865 Bord de Mer depicts rocks along the shoreline of Normandy coast during D-Day , marking a turning point in World War II .

The family of Adalbert and Hilda Parlagi fled Vienna in 1938 , using British license plates to drive across the border.

They were still considered Jewish under Nazi laws; relatives were killed in concentration camps.

Françoise Parlagi , a broad smile on her face, said she hoped to hang a copy of the pastel in her home. She said the moment felt "unreal." "So many families are in this situation. Maybe they haven't even been trying to recover because they don't believe, they think this might not be possible," she said. "Let us be hope for other families.".
