New session of the seminar «Heritage plundered during the period of Nazism (1933-1945)», devoted to the Commission for the compensation of victims of plunder (CIVS)

The session will take place at 6:30 pm in the Jacqueline Lichtenstein auditorium of the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA), Galerie Colbert, with Michel Jeannoutot, President of the CIVS, and Jérôme Benezech, its director.

The Mission for the Search and Restitution of Looted Cultural Property between 1933 and 1945 (M2RS) and the Commission pour l'indemnisation des victimes de spoliations (CIVS) work in close cooperation. Research on cultural property is conducted by the M2RS; upon completion of this research, the CIVS is responsible for developing and recommending appropriate restitution or compensation measures. The Commission will present examples to illustrate its action, which covers, more broadly, all the anti-Semitic dispossession in France during the Occupation.

The seminar is organized by the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA) and the Mission de recherche et de restitution des biens culturels spoliés entre 1933 et 1945 (M2RS), in collaboration with the Institut national du patrimoine (INP). It pursues the field of investigation extended to the context, meaning and consequences of the research of provenance and the restitution of works of art. This seminar is open to all.

All seminar sessions are broadcast on the INHA YouTube channel.
