Before and during World War II, the Nazis engaged in an organized program of looting of Jewish cultural objects, often using forced Jewish labor to catalog the stolen items. Join Dr. Martin Dean as he examines the Nazi policy of cultural plunder, including its aims and methods, and shows how many Jews sought to defy the Germans’ genocidal intentions through imaginative forms of cultural resistance.

Presented in conjunction with the Museum's current special exhibition, The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis, on view June 23, 2021 through January 2, 2022.

This program took place on September 1, 2021.
