FRANCE (June 2017) last revised 3 July 2017 RECONSTRUCTING THE RECORD OF NAZI CULTURAL PLUNDER A GUIDE TO THE DISPERSED ARCHIVES OF THE EINSATZSTAB REICHSLEITER ROSENBERG (ERR) AND THE POSTWAR RETRIEVAL OF ERR LOOT Patricia Kennedy Grimsted Expanded and Updated Edition Chapter 2: FRANCE (June 2017) Published online with generous support of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), in association with the International Institute of Social History (IISH), Amsterdam, and the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Amsterdam: at http://www.errproject.org/guide.php. © Copyright 2017, Patricia Kennedy Grimsted The original volume was initially published as: Reconstructing the Record of Nazi Cultural Plunder: A Survey of the Dispersed Archives of the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR), IISH Research Paper 47, by the International Institute of Social History (IISH), in association with the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Amsterdam, and with generous support of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), Amsterdam, March 2011 © PKG Online: PDF files are available for free download at: http://socialhistory.org/en/publications/reconstructing-record-nazi-cultural-plunder. Updated chapters are now available at: http://www.errproject.org/guide.php: “Introduction: Alfred Rosenberg and the ERR: The Records of Plunder and the Fate of Its Loot” (August 2015) Chapter 1: Belgium (December 2016) Chapter 4 (new): Israel (December 2015) Chapter 6 (previous 5): The Netherlands (December 2015) Chapter 10 (previous 9): United States of America (April 2015) Other updated country chapters will soon be available. The Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR), the special operational task force directed by Adolf Hitler’s leading ideologue Alfred Rosenberg, was the major NSDAP agency engaged in looting cultural valuables in Nazi-occupied countries during the Second World War. The detail with which the ERR documented the art, archives, books, and other Judaica plundered has proved essential for postwar recovery and their return to victims or heirs. The original 2011 edition describes ERR archival remains in 29 repositories in 9 countries – from Washington and Brussels to Moscow and Kyiv. The revised U.S. chapter adds four repositories, the new Israel chapter adds another four, and the Dutch chapter two more. Two French archives covered earlier are now combined with others, and three new ones have been added – for a total of 40 repositories in 10 countries. This guide to surviving documents generated by the ERR, in many cases goes well beyond ERR and related M-Aktion sources. Focusing on the retrieval and restitution of the ERR loot, attention centers on key records of postwar U.S., French, British, and Soviet agencies, many incorporating wartime ERR documents and reports on ERR repositories and staff, including war- crimes trials. New links are now provided to many related sources available on the Internet: These include records from the U.S. National Archives in College Park (NACP), the German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) in Koblenz and Berlin-Lichterfelde, the National Archives (TNA) of the United Kingdom, the NIOD, a major State Archive of Ukraine (TsDAVO), and major newly described Paris archives with online finding aids, providing improved access to an important component of the record of wartime plunder and postwar retrieval of cultural loot. 2.

Ms. Casey provided further impetus for it by her research assistance on international human rights issues, and continued with research and editorial work as the essay developed. Ms. Giordani researched French law and procedure and obtained original sources. Mr. Mardemootoo worked on further research and assisted in formulating the issues. The translations of most French materials were initially done by Professor Tigar and reviewed by Ms. Giordani and Mr. Mardemootoo. As we were working on the project, the Texas InternationalLaw Journaleditors told us of Ms. Finkelstein's article, and we decided to turn our effort into a complementary piece that drew some slightly different conclusions. if Professor of Law and holder of the Joseph D.

  • La Diplomatie Française Et Les Diplomates Français Entre Tradition Et Réforme
    GEORGES-HENRI SOUTOU La diplomatie française et les diplomates français entre tradition et réforme Identité nationale, américanisation, européanisation, mondialisation: cette problémati- que est bien sûr au cœur de la diplomatie française depuis 1945. Celle-ci a été marquée évidemment par des évolutions et des adaptations, mais aussi par certaines continuités, en particulier le souci de maintenir l’identité nationale: la France a toujours été le moins atlantiste des pays d’Europe occidentale et le plus rétif au leadership américain; ses élites se sont en général méfiées de la mondialisation libérale, souhaitant, de Pierre Mendès France à François Mitterrand, promouvoir telle ou telle forme de »libéralisme organisé« limitant le jeu du marché, en particulier pour les matières premières, ainsi que pour les productions culturelles (»exception culturelle« et francophonie). Quant à l’européanisation, elle a constitué certainement un axe de la diplomatie et des diploma- tes français, mais elle est restée partielle et chargée d’arrière-pensées très »nationales«. De façon peut-être excessive, mais pas fausse, les partenaires de la France au sein de la CEE puis de l’Union européenne avaient (ont toujours) l’impression que Paris consi- dère l’Europe avant tout comme un levier permettant de prolonger son action et de diffuser son modèle; de Gaulle lui-même ne parlait-il pas de l’Europe comme d’un »levier d’Archimède« pour la France? C’est au fond ce que signifie le qualificatif de »Grande Nation« que les Allemands appliquent volontiers à la France, en y mêlant, dans des proportions variables, ironie et admiration... 1945–1947 UNE TENTATIVE DE RESTAURATION D’UNE POLITIQUE NATIONALE TRADITIONNELLE En 1945, la France, pensant pouvoir retrouver son rôle international traditionnel, com- mença par renouer avec l’organisation, les méthodes et les conceptions de la diploma- tie d’avant-guerre.

    Do Books Cause Revolutions? An Empirical Test of Robert Darnton’s The Forbidden Best-Sellers of Pre-Revolutionary France* Yu Sasaki† This version: March 22, 2020 Preliminary; comments welcome Abstract This article is the first empirical test of Robert Darnton (1995)’s thesis that illegal books clandes- tinely circulated contributed to the French Revolution. The provocative argument has spawned a vibrant industry in historical research but quantitative studies have not been offered. I do so by constructing a new data set that digitizes all 720 illegal works in Darnton’s published corpus. Using the number of émigrés and deaths sentences as my proxies for the Revolution, I show that the diffusion of illegal books has a positive and significant impact on nobles and clergy- men who fled from France but not those who received death sentences. My findings are robust to a host of covariates that could determine diffusion and the two revolutionary outcomes. My analysis implies that an information revolution in which technological progress allows for a fast and inexpensive transmission of information could facilitate a political revolution. *I thank Takayuki Kubouchi for his able research assistance. Financial support from the Joint Usage and Research Center Programs, Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University (IERPK1917) is gratefully acknowledged. All errors are mine. †Assistant Professor, Waseda Institute for Advanced Study, Waseda University. E-mail: [email protected]. See yusasaki.squarespace.com for the most updated version. Introduction In the spring of 2011, a wave of mass mobilization and regime change in the Middle East and North Africa has made scholars reconsider the causes of political revolution.

    Commission pour l’indemnisation des victimes de spoliations intervenues du fait des législations antisémites en vigueur pendant l’Occupation Report to the public on the work of the 2019 Proceedings of the symposium held on November 15, 2019 Speech by French President Jacques Chirac, on July 16, 1995, at the commemoration of the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup (July 16, 1942) Excerpts « In the life of a nation, there are times that leave painful memories and damage people’s conception of their country. It is difficult to evoke these moments because we can never find the proper words to describe their horror or to express the grief of those who experienced their tragedy. They will carry forever, in their souls and in their flesh, the memory of these days of tears and shame. [… ] On that day, France, land of the Enlightenment, of Human Rights, of welcome and asylum, committed the irreparable. Breaking its word, it handed those who were under its protection over to their executioners. [… ] Our debt to them is inalienable. [… ] In passing on the history of the Jewish people, of its sufferings and of the camps. In bearing witness again and again. In recognizing the errors of the past, and the errors committed by the State. In concealing nothing about the dark hours of our history, we are simply standing up for a vision of humanity, of human liberty and dignity. We are thus struggling against the forces of darkness, which are constantly at work. [… ] Let us learn the lessons of history. Let us refuse to be passive onlookers, or accomplices, of unacceptable acts.
