Commission Advises Making Jewish Loot Art Visible

A commission led by former minister Asscher advises making approximately 4000 artworks and objects, previously held in storage since World War II, accessible to the public and managed by the Jewish community. These ‘verweesde’ (orphaned) Jewish looted artworks, primarily from the NK collection, were obtained through theft, forced sales, or confiscation during the Nazi regime. The commission argues it’s time to display these objects to highlight the importance of the rule of law and equal treatment.
