Abstract

Summary/Abstract: Restitution efforts understandably focus primarily on immovable property.Plundered artworks, books, manuscripts, archives, religious artifacts, and other unique, movable objects of cultural property are also of great importance, however. Artworks and religious artifacts plundered by the Nazis and their allies from Jewish communities and families have emotional meaning. These were communal and personal possessions valued for their beauty and cultural significance, often handed down through several generations.In many cases, these artworks or artifacts are the last personal link heirs may have to families and communities destroyed in the Holocaust.
