Art Restoration Under the Nazi Regime: Revelation and Concealment

Blewett, Morwenna

This book is the first in-depth study of the restoration and conservation field in the National Socialist era. It presents a completely new perspective on the physical manipulation of fine, applied arts and other cultural property, under the regime from 1933 to post war in 1948. It investigates the motivations behind the participation of the conservation and restoration profession in this network of profit, crime, persecution and ideological broadcast.
