Closing soon at the Joods Museum and the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, this exhibition presents personal stories about the looting and restitution of Jewish cultural property in the Netherlands. Eight narratives are told in displays featuring photographs, ceremonial objects, children’s drawings and books. First-hand documents and interviews communicate the trauma experienced by these victims during and in the wake of the Holocaust.
The exhibition is a co-production with the Rijksmuseum, with which Sotheby's collaboratively staged the “Looted” symposium on 9-10 September, alongside the International Professional Association for Provenance Research, and the Jewish Cultural Quarter. In tandem with the exhibition, the symposium explored the impact of loss and the shifting meaning of art, books and Jewish ritual objects in and around the Second World War.
