Report to the Public on the Work of the 2019 Proceedings of the Symposium Held on November 15, 2019
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. -

Luxury Low Countries
LUXURY LUXURY in the LOW LUXURY COUNTRIES the in in the e superflu, chose très nécessaire”, wrote Voltaire 1736 in COUNTRIES LOW LOW his poem Le mondain. Needless to say that luxury is much Lmore than merely materialised/solidified redundancy. Offering a first panoramic view on various manifestations of conspicuous material culture in a Netherlandish context from 1500 until the present, this study – rather than investigating self- COUNTRIES evident cases of luxury – aims to explore its boundaries and the different stages in which luxury is fabricated or sometimes only simulated. Thematically, the volume focuses on two major issues, i.e. collections and foodways as means of expression of prosperity and splendour, which will be discussed by an international group of scholars, emanating from disciplines such as archaeology, history, book and media studies, art history, linguistics, and historical (ed.)

Girl with a Flute
National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Attributed to Johannes Vermeer Johannes Vermeer Dutch, 1632 - 1675 Girl with a Flute probably 1665/1675 oil on panel painted surface: 20 x 17.8 cm (7 7/8 x 7 in.) framed: 39.7 x 37.5 x 5.1 cm (15 5/8 x 14 3/4 x 2 in.) Widener Collection 1942.9.98 ENTRY In 1906 Abraham Bredius, director of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, traveled to Brussels to examine a collection of drawings owned by the family of Jonkheer Jan de Grez. [1] There he discovered, hanging high on a wall, a small picture that he surmised might be by Vermeer of Delft. Bredius asked for permission to take down the painting, which he exclaimed to be “very beautiful.” He then asked if the painting could be exhibited at the Mauritshuis, which occurred during the summer of 1907. Bredius’ discovery was received with great acclaim. In 1911, after the death of Jonkheer Jan de Grez, the family sold the painting, and it soon entered the distinguished collection of August Janssen in Amsterdam. After this collector’s death in 1918, the painting was acquired by the Amsterdam art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, and then by M. Knoedler & Co., New York, which subsequently sold it to Joseph E. Widener. On March 1, 1923, the Paris art dealer René Gimpel recorded the transaction in his diary, commenting: “It’s truly one of the master’s most beautiful works.” [2] Despite the enthusiastic reception that this painting received after its discovery in the first decade of the twentieth century, the attribution of this work has frequently Girl with a Flute 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century been brought into question by later scholars. -

A Moral Persuasion: the Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013
A MORAL PERSUASION: THE NAZI-LOOTED ART RECOVERIES OF THE MAX STERN ART RESTITUTION PROJECT, 2002-2013 by Sara J. Angel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Sara J. Angel 2017 PhD Abstract A Moral Persuasion: The Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013 Sara J. Angel Department of Art University of Toronto Year of convocation: 2017 In 1937, under Gestapo orders, the Nazis forced the Düsseldorf-born Jewish art dealer Max Stern to sell over 200 of his family’s paintings at Lempertz, a Cologne-based auction house. Stern kept this fact a secret for the rest of his life despite escaping from Europe to Montreal, Canada, where he settled and became one of the country’s leading art dealers by the mid-twentieth century. A decade after Stern’s death in 1987, his heirs (McGill University, Concordia University, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) discovered the details of what he had lost, and how in the post-war years Stern travelled to Germany in an attempt to reclaim his art. To honour the memory of Max Stern, they founded the Montreal- based Max Stern Art Restitution Project in 2002, dedicated to regaining ownership of his art and to the study of Holocaust-era plunder and recovery. This dissertation presents the histories and circumstances of the first twelve paintings claimed by the organization in the context of the broader history of Nazi-looted art between 1933-2012. Organized into thematic chapters, the dissertation documents how, by following a carefully devised approach of moral persuasion that combines practices like publicity, provenance studies, law enforcement, and legal precedents, the Max Stern Art Restitution Project set international precedents in the return of cultural property. -

Manuth TWeede begeleider: Prof. Dr. B. de Klerck Woensdag, 30 augustus 2017 ABSTRACT The Department Dr. Mühlmann – The organized art theft in the Netherlands under German occupation in the years from 1940 to 1944 by Jan Vermeulen In 1940 the Austrian art historian Dr. Kajetan Mühlmann set up an office in Den Haag, which functioned as a clearing house for art expropriated during the occupation of the Netherlands. This agency, headed by Mühlmann, became known as the “Dienststelle Dr. Mühlmann”. The following thesis deals With the organized art theft in the Netherlands under German occupation in the years from 1940 to 1944. It starts with Mühlmann’s biographic background and his political alliances to National Socialism in Germany and its members. These bonds are important because they led to his task in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands the Department of Dr. Mühlmann worked with different organizations. Although the “Dienststelle” had a small internal structure, it had a large external network. As well the internal construction of the department as its external contacts will be discussed and explained within the thesis. After the main characters of the “Dienststelle” are revealed and the different tasks which consist of the registration of important artworks and collections, different ways of procurement and in the end their sale, the complex system of the Department Dr. -
1 the End of Global Capital Flows During the Great Depression
The End of Global Capital Flows During the Great Depression Harold James, Princeton University International capital markets froze up during the Great Depression, and the capital movements that did take place in the aftermath of the depression were regarded as destabilizing “hot money” flows. Previous debt crises in the nineteenth century era of globalization had resulted in the penalization of the problem area for substantial periods of time (decades), but capital flows from the major centers had resumed to new areas quite quickly. What distinguished the Great Depression was: - that several areas of the world were hit simultaneously in a general crisis - that the crisis undermined the financial structure of the major financial centers - that the response to the crisis in many countries involved the suspension of debt service and an imposition of capital controls - that lending countries regarded the volatility of capital flows as an economic problem but also as a security issue - that in consequence the climate of opinion shifted to a belief that capital flows were the major source of the destabilization. 1. The General Crisis 1 The First World War was clearly a major shock to the international economic order: the gold standard was suspended, there were major debtor defaults (the Russian Empire), and countries adopted highly inflationary war finance. But capital flows resumed quickly after the war, as they had after nineteenth century debt crises. Many U.K. and U.S. investors thought the depreciated currencies of central Europe attractive, and bet on recoveries (foolishly, as it turned out). After the currency stabilizations of the mid-1920s, capital flows were not deterred by continuing political uncertainty and instability, or by the priority of reparations payments (which later came to play a role in the creditors’ panic).1 This looks like similar behavior to that of the classic gold standard era, where crises were followed by a suspicion of certain areas, but not a turning away from all international engagement. -
Deutsche Finanzinteressen an Den Vereinigten Staaten Und Den Nieder- Landen Im Ersten Weltkrieg*
Aufsatz Marc Frey Deutsche Finanzinteressen an den Vereinigten Staaten und den Nieder- landen im Ersten Weltkrieg* Wohl kein Bereich der Forschung zur Geschichte Deutschlands im Ersten Weltkrieg ist so unterrepräsentiert wie die Analyse der deutschen Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen in den Jahren 1914—1918. Darstellungen der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft betonen die wachsende Rohstoff- und Nahrungsmittelknappheit, deren Ausmaß kaum noch lösbare Anforderun- gen an die deutsche Wirtschaft stellten1. Besonders die aus dem anglo-amerikanischen Raum stammende Forschung zum Wirtschaftskrieg übte nachhaltigen Einfluß auf das Ver- ständnis der deutschen Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen im Krieg aus. Danach gelang es Groß- britannien, Deutschland mit Hilfe der Blockade bald nach Kriegsausbruch vom Weltmarkt zu verdrängen und den Handel mit dem Ausland im weiteren Verlauf des Krieges ganz zum Erliegen zu bringen2. Schon vor zwanzig Jahren zog Gerd Hardach in seiner inter- nationalen Wirtschaftsgeschichte des Ersten Weltkriegs den Erfolg der alliierten Wirtschafts- blockade gegen Deutschland in Zweifel und verwies auf die Rolle der Neutralen als be- deutende Handelspartner Deutschlands3. Bis heute wurden seine Thesen weder aufgenom: men noch einer genauen Uberprüfung unterzogen. So stellte auch die neuere Forschung zu verschiedenen Aspekten der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft die Wirkung der alliierten Blockade gerade im Hinblick auf die deutschen Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen nicht in Frage4. Angesichts der großen Bedeutung der neutralen Staaten für die deutsche Kriegs- wirtschaft ist es jedoch erstaunlich, daß die Wirtschafts- und Finanzbeziehungen Deutsch- lands zu Dänemark, den Niederlanden, Norwegen, Schweden, der Schweiz und den Ver- einigten Staaten von der Forschung bislang unberücksichtigt blieben.
