Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objectif de cette thèse est d'examiner comment s'effectue pour la France le règlement des restitutions allemandes au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale. Cette question est en effet extrêmement importante en raison de l'ampleur sans précédant des spoliations tant directes qu'indirectes effectuées par l'occupant nazi entre 1940 et 1944. Une première partie expose les projets français et interalliés entre 1943 et 1945 dans le cadre des études relatives à une convention d'armistice, puis les tentatives des quatre puissances occupantes de l'Allemagne en vue d'élaborer un cadre réglementaire compatible avec le système des réparations. Cette partie permet de connaître les divergences fondamentales entre les conceptions très larges des français d'une part, et les conceptions minimalistes des anglo-saxons et des soviétiques d'autre part. Une seconde partie décrit l'exécution pratique des restitutions entre 1945 et 1954. Sont examinées successivement les restitutions d'outillage et de matériel agricole, les restitutions de l'or monétaire et des valeurs mobilières, les restitutions d'œuvres d'art et d'objets précieux. Le dernier chapitre de cette seconde partie donne un bilan global en 1954 et tente de mesurer l'impact des restitutions sur les économies de la France et de l'Allemagne.

Download or read book Stealing Home written by Shannon Lee Fogg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1942 and 1944 the Germans sealed and completely emptied at least 38,000 Parisian apartments. The majority of the furnishings and other household items came from 'abandoned' Jewish apartments and were shipped to Germany. After the war, Holocaust survivors returned to Paris to discover their homes completely stripped of all personal possessions or occupied by new inhabitants. In 1945, the French provisional government established a Restitution Service to facilitate the return of goods to wartime looting victims. Though time-consuming, difficult, and often futile, thousands of people took part in these early restitution efforts. Stealing Home demonstrates that attempts to reclaim one's furnishings and personal possessions were key in efforts to rebuild Jewish political and social inclusion in the war's wake. Far from remaining silent, Jewish survivors sought recognition of their losses, played an active role in politics, and turned to both the government and each other for aid. Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, restitution claims, social workers' reports, newspapers, and government documents, Stealing Home provides a social history of the period that focuses on Jewish survivors' everyday lives during the lengthy process of restoring citizenship and property rights. It examines social rebirth through the prism of restitution and argues that the home was critical in shaping the postwar relationship between Jews and the state, and in the successes and failures associated with rebuilding Jewish lives in France after the Holocaust.
Download or read book France and the German Question 1945 1990 written by Frédéric Bozo and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the immediate aftermath of World War Two, the victors were unable to agree on Germany’s fate, and the separation of the country—the result of the nascent Cold War—emerged as a de facto, if provisional, settlement. Yet East and West Germany would exist apart for half a century, making the "German question" a central foreign policy issue—and given the war-torn history between the two countries, this was felt no more keenly than in France. Drawing on the most recent historiography and previously untapped archival sources, this volume shows how France’s approach to the German question was, for the duration of the Cold War, both more constructive and consequential than has been previously acknowledged.

Download or read book Central Collecting Point in Munich The written by Iris Lauterbach and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling exploration of the many issues surrounding the restoration and restitution of Nazi-stolen art at the end of World War II At the end of World War II, the US Office of Military Government for Germany and Bavaria, through its Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives division, was responsible for the repatriation of most of the tens of thousands of artwork looted by the Nazis in the countries they had occupied. With the help of the US Army’s Monuments Men—the name given to a hand-picked group of art historians and museum professionals commissioned for this important duty—massive numbers of objects were retrieved from their wartime hiding places and inventoried for repatriation. Iris Lauterbach’s fascinating history documents the story of the Allies’ Central Collecting Point (CCP), set up in the former Nazi Party headquarters at Königsplatz in Munich, where the confiscated works were transported to be identified and sorted for restitution. This book presents her archival research on the events, people, new facts, and intrigue, with meticulous attention to the official systems, frameworks, and logistical and bureaucratic enterprise of the Munich CCP in the years from 1945 to 1949. She uncovers the stories of the people who worked there at a time of lingering political suspicions; narrates the research, conservation, and restitution process; and investigates how the works of art were managed and returned to their owners.
Download or read book Nazi Labour Camps in Paris written by Jean-Marc Dreyfus and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 18 July 1943, one-hundred and twenty Jews were transported from the concentration camp at Drancy to the Lévitan furniture store building in the middle of Paris. These were the first detainees of three satellite camps (Lévitan, Austerlitz, Bassano) in Paris. Between July 1943 and August 1944, nearly eight hundred prisoners spent a few weeks to a year in one of these buildings, previously been used to store furniture, and were subjected to forced labor. Although the history of the persecution and deportation of France’s Jews is well known, the three Parisian satellite camps have been subjected to the silence of both memory and history. This lack of attention by the most authoritative voices on the subject can perhaps be explained by the absence of a collective memory or by the marginal status of the Parisian detainees - the spouses of Aryans, wives of prisoners of war, half-Jews. Still, the Parisian camps did, and continue to this day, lack simple and straightforward descriptions. This book is a much needed study of these camps and is witness to how, sixty years after the events, expressing this memory remains a complex, sometimes painful process, and speaking about it a struggle.
Download or read book Returned from Russia written by Patricia Kennedy Grimsted and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Second World War, various Nazi agencies competed for the plunder of occupied Europe's archival heritage. This volume brings together reports by individuals who took part in the negotiations for the return of those twice-plundered archives, among those the archives of the IIAV. Patricia Kennedy Grimsted reveals her story of the seizure and dramatic fate of those records in Nazi and Soviet hands and the post-1991 political battle within Russia over their restitution. In the second half of the volume, the stories of individual countries are told, with the focus on the returned archives of France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, together with the Austrian Rothschild archives. Appendices present the legal instruments for the return of these of these 'displaced' twice-captured archives, and identify the present locations of all of those that have recently come home from Russia, some of them long believed lost. Military and security records, documents from early Masonic lodges for the memory of centuries past, new memorials to those who perished in the war and the Holocaust - all are covered in this book.
