Abstract
Shortly after the Nazi party gained power in Germany in 1933, the phenomenon of "Nazi plunder" emerged. The term Nazi plunder refers to the massive theft of art and other significant cultural items stolen by the Nazi party as part of an organized looting scheme across Europe. This plunder was carried out by military units of the German army known as Kunstschutt which ironically means "art protection." In 1935, along with the Nuremberg Laws depriving Jews of their German citizenship,1 Nazi Germany enacted a new law, which required Jews to register their domestic and foreign property and assets.2 The Nazis pushed to "Aryanize" all Jewish businesses. By the end of 1938, approximately two-thirds of Jewish-owned businesses had been sold to Germans at a fixed price below market value. On October 3, 1938, a decree ordered the confiscation of Jewish-owned property and its transfer to non-Jewish hands. [1st paragraph]
