Many Jews used to live in Germany.
Hitler and the National Socialists persecuted these people.
They expelled and murdered the Jewish people.
And they stole her things.
Robbery is another word for theft.
The stolen items also included works of art and books.
Jewish people sometimes collected books and works of art.
Because they were particularly fond of books and works of art.
They then had valuable works of art at home.
Some stolen artworks and books are now in museums and libraries.
The museums and libraries want to return the stolen items.
Experts examine the artworks and books.
You want to find out:
Where do the artworks and books come from?
In the process, the experts also find out something about the persecuted Jewish people.
And what happened to them during the Hitler era.
In the project Art, theft and restitution - Forgotten life stories
we want to remember these people.
We tell their life stories on this website:
