Description

The looting of Jewish books during the Holocaust, and their systematic incorporation into German libraries, where they remain to this day. This little-researched area of Nazi plundering was examined through select volumes and related historical documents, which reveal how this looting took place, and tell the stories of individual books and their rightful owners. Material presented in 18 sections, most dedicated to individual case studies, including that of the Library of the Jewish Community of Berlin. No itemized listing.
