Description
What should be done about cultural property confiscated in the Soviet Occupation Zone and the GDR? This legal appraisal commissioned by the Deutsches Zentrum Kulturgutverluste (German Lost Art Foundation) enables public institutions and their funding providers to assess the legal position of collection items seized in the Soviet Occupation Zone and the GDR, and identifies legal options for action. Thomas Finkenauer and Jan Thiessen present a compendium classifying 13 case groups along with the historical circumstances of their confiscation and the legal consequences. The report also serves provenance research through this overview, which has not been available in such a form before.
