The robbery and restitution of Jewish property are two inextricably
linked social processes. It is not possible to understand the
lawsuits and international agreements on the restoration of Jewish
property of the late 1990s without examining what was robbed and by
whom. In this volume distinguished historians first outline the
mechanisms and scope of the European-wide program of plunder and
then assess the effectiveness and historical implications of
post-war restitution efforts. Everywhere the solution of legal and
material problems was intertwined with changing national myths
about the war and conflicting interpretations of justice. Even
those countries that pursued extensive restitution programs using
rigorous legal means were unable to compensate or fully comprehend
the scale of Jewish loss. Especially in Eastern Europe, it was not
until the collapse of communism that the concept of restoring some
Jewish property rights even became a viable option. Integrating the
abundance of new research on the material effects of the Holocaust
and its aftermath, this comparative perspective examines the
developments in Germany, Poland, Italy, France, Belgium, Hungary
and the Czech Republic.
