| Beschreibung: | "When we look at the artworks on display in museums, there is always a real possibility that some of these objects once belonged to victims of the Nazis - a possibility that has remained unacknowledged for far too long. Countless artworks were seized or forcibly sold, with many ending up in museum collections around the world, even in countries which actively fought to defeat Nazi Germany. Nazi-Era Provenance of Museum Collections equips readers with the knowledge and strategies essential for confronting the shadow of the Nazi past in museum collections. Jacques Schuhmacher provides the vital historical orientation required to understand the Nazis' complex campaign of systematic dispossession and extermination, and highlights the current environment in which museum-based Nazi-era provenance research takes place. This book introduces readers to the research methods and resources that can be used to reveal the moving stories behind the objects, highlighting the absorbing work of provenance researchers as it plays out in practice. Provenance research not only seeks to recover erased names and experiences and to reinsert them into a historical record, but also to ensure that the Nazis' actions and worldview do not remain unchallenged in the galleries and storerooms of our museums today."--Back cover Includes bibliographical references and index Verfasser des Vorwortes direkt vom Ende des Vorworts entnommen |
