Book excerpt: Holocaust Restitution is the first volume to present the Holocaust restitution movement directly from the viewpoints of the various parties involved in the campaigns and settlements. Now that the Holocaust restitution claims are closed, this work enjoys the benefits of hindsight to provide a definitive assessment of the movement. From lawyers and State Department officials to survivors and heads of key institutes involved in the negotiations, the volume brings together the central players in the Holocaust restitution movement, both pro and con. The volume examines the claims against European banks and against Germany and Austria relating to forced labor, insurance claims, and looted art claims. It considers their significance, their legacy, and the moral issues involved in seeking and receiving restitution.

Book excerpt: "The ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums contains numerous sections that are relevant to questions of art and cultural and religious property plundered by the Nazis and their allies. Major intergovernmental conferences and resolutions have established international principles regarding provenance research and the restitution of art and other cultural property, most notably the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art (1998) endorsed by 44 countries, Resolution 1205 of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (1999), the Declaration of the Vilnius International Forum on Holocaust-Era Looted Cultural Assets (2000), and the Terezin Declaration (2009) endorsed by 47 countries. As a result, there have been some positive steps towards the restitution of movable artwork and cultural and religious property plundered from Jews, but progress has been slow, and there remains a very considerable amount of looted movable artwork and cultural and religious property that has not been recovered and that is still in private and public hands. Most recently this has come once again to public attention as a result of the recent discovery of a collection of over 1400 artworks in Munich, Germany and subsequent reforms by the Federal and State Governments of Germany. No mechanism exists to monitor adherence to the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums, and no mechanism was established to monitor progress by the 44 countries that endorsed the 1998 Washington Conference Principles. It is clear, however, that some sort of independent examination of progress is necessary, both within individual countries and among them. The main organizations of the world Jewish community active in the restitution of property looted from victims of the Holocaust, namely the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) and the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO), which have conducted extensive research over the years on the status of provenance research and of claims processes for the restitution of artworks in most, if not all, relevant countries, presented a report on such progress at the Holocaust-Era Assets Conference in Prague in 2009. Five years have passed since then. This paper presents an updated worldwide report on 50 countries. The variations among countries' historical experiences and legal systems, as well as the complexities of provenance research and the establishment of claims processes, are such that it is not easy to make generalizations. But despite some positive developments since the Prague Conference in 2009 and despite the wake-up call of the discovery of the Gurlitt collection, most countries and most museums have not implemented the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art, the Terezin Declaration, or the Code of Ethics for Museums of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). The Claims Conference/WJRO considers that the museum profession needs to take hold of the issues as a professional matter, and an International Association of Provenance Researchers needs to be formed. The Claims Conference/WJRO will work with ICOM and the various relevant governmental and non-governmental organizations to help initiate the creation of such an international professional association."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can there ever be justice for the Holocaust? During the 1990s—triggered by lawsuits in the United States against Swiss banks, German corporations, insurance companies, and owners of valuable works of art—claimants and their lawyers sought to rectify terrible wrongs committed more than a half century earlier. Some Measure of Justice explores this most recent wave of justice-seeking for the Holocaust: what it has been, why it emerged when it did, how it fits with earlier reparation to the Jewish people, its significance for the historical representation of the Holocaust, and its implications for justice-seeking in our time. Writings on the subject of Holocaust reparations have largely come from participants, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, and social scientists specializing in restitution. In Some Measure of Justice Michael Marrus takes up the issue as a historian deeply involved with legal issues. He engages with larger questions about historical understanding and historical interpretation as they enter the legal arena. Ultimately this book asks, What constitutes justice for a great historic wrong? And, Is such justice possible? Winner, Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Jewish Book Award for Holocaust Literature

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazis and their state-sponsored cohorts stole mercilessly from the Jews of Europe. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, returning survivors had to navigate a frequently unclear path to recover their property from governments and neighbors who had failed to protect them and who often had been complicit in their persecution. While the return of Nazi-looted art has garnered the most media attention, and there have been well-publicized settlements involving stolen Swiss bank deposits and unpaid insurance policies, there is a larger piece of Holocaust injustice that has not been adequately dealt with: stolen land and buildings, much of which today still remain unrestituted. This book is about the less publicized area of post-Holocaust restitution involving immovable (real) property confiscated from European Jews and others during World War II. In 2009, 47 countries convened in Prague to deal with the lingering problem of restitution of pre-war private, communal and heirless property stolen in the Holocaust. The outcome was the issuance by 47 states of the Terezin Declaration on Holocaust Era Assets and Related Issues, which aimed, among other things, to "rectify the consequences" of the wrongful property seizures. This book sets forth the legal history of Holocaust immovable property restitution in each of the Terezin Declaration signatory states. It also analyses how each of the 47 countries has fulfilled the standards of the Guidelines and Best Practices of the Terezin Declaration, issued in 2010 in conjunction with the establishment of the European Shoah Legacy Institute (ESLI) to monitor compliance. The book is based on the Holocaust (Shoah) Immovable Property Restitution Study commissioned by ESLI, written by the authors and issued in Brussels in 2017 before the European Parliament.
