LOOTED VALUABLES

HOLOCAUST-ERA ASSETS COLLECTION

As the Nazis took over Europe in WWII, they looted everything from major artwork pieces from national museums to ceremonial and personal items from the Jewish people. The Ardelia Hall is a record collection of these recovered items and the work to restore these stolen items to their proper owners. This is one of the most popular collections at the National Archives and provides a different picture of the Holocaust that many may not know about.
