Good restorations jewish community

Since 2005, the Shoah Memorial provides victims of spoliations with useful information on compensation. Our homepage guides you through all administrative procedures.

During the anti-Semitic legislation, many damages were caused by spoliation of financial and material assets. The Shoah Memorial offers you detailed information on your rights to reparations, restitution or compensation. This applies also to art works which were stolen in France during the Second World War.

Restitution of stolen Jewish funds

In the course of the anti-Semitic legislation, the Jewish community suffered spoliation of personal goods and real estate. For the last 10 years, the 'Commission for the compensation of victims of spoliation' has been in charge of the financial compensation for stolen funds, art works, furniture, etc.

Spoliated artwork during the Occupation

An illustrated catalogue published by the Management of French Museums is supposed to help victims of spoliation to get back artwork that was spoliated by Nazi Germany. Thus, requests for restitution and compensation can be handled more easily.
