A nation lives as long as its cultural monuments live

The Documentation Centre has published an English translation of a book mapping the confiscation of art objects and valuables in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1939-1945. The publication A nation lives as long as its cultural monuments live. Art Theft in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia 1939-1945. Mechanisms, development, contexts explains the methods, technical, personnel and legislative arrangements of the Protectorate’s occupation expropriation mechanism and describes its practical form as well as the manner in which seized assets were used.  It places the issues discussed in a broader historical context, with an emphasis on the period of National Socialism.
