WRITTEN IN FRENCH
Here are published for the first time the handwritten notes of Rose Valland (1898-1980), unpublished to this day, accompanied by a critical and documentary apparatus.
From March 1941, Rose Valland, conservation attaché at the Jeu de Paume museum, was the only French witness to the atrocities perpetrated by a cultural organization of the Nazi party led by Reich Minister Alfred Rosenberg, under the personal authority of Adolf Hitler.
The main mission of the Einsatzstab Rosenberg (ERR) consisted in the identification and confiscation of Jewish art collections - but not only - in France, Belgium and Holland: the looting of art galleries, antique shops and private homes but also the removal of many bank deposits. Thanks to Rose Valland, the ignoble daily life of spoliation is brought to light here.
