The Plunder of Jewish Property during the Holocaust : Confronting European History (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2001)

More than fifty years after the Holocaust, European and other countries are confronting newly-emerging memories and guilt-filled ghosts from the past.

The campaign for the restitution of Jewish property stolen during the Holocaust touched a raw nerve within European society and, together with the end of the Cold War and generational change, created a need to re-evaluate conventional historical truths.

A group of experts joined together to review in this book how the issue was dealt with in different countries and how national myths must be re-examined.
