"Defending National Treasures" explores the fate of art and
cultural heritage during the Nazi occupation of France. The French
cultural patrimony was a crucial locus of power struggles between
German and French leaders and among influential figures in each
country. Karlsgodt examines the preservation policy that the Vichy
regime enacted in an assertion of sovereignty over French art
museums, historic monuments, and archeological sites. The limits to
this sovereignty are apparent from German appropriations of public
statues, Jewish-owned art collections, and key "Germanic" works of
art from French museums. A final chapter traces the lasting impact
of the French wartime reforms on preservation policy.
