Nazi soldiers and civilians emptied Jewish communal libraries, confiscated volumes from government collections, and stole from Jewish individuals, schools, and synagogues. Early in their regime, the Nazis burned some books in spectacular bonfires, but most they saved, stashing the literary loot in castles, abandoned mine shafts, and warehouses throughout Europe. It was the largest and most extensive book-looting campaign in history. After the war, Allied forces discovered these troves of stolen books but quickly found themselves facing a barrage of questions. How could the books be identified? Where should they go? Who had the authority to make such decisions? Eventually, the army turned the books over to an organization of leading Jewish scholars called Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, Inc.-- whose chairman was the acclaimed historian Salo Baron, and whose on-the-ground director was the philosopher Hannah Arendt--with the charge to establish restitution protocols. Stolen Words is the story of how a free civilization decides what to do with the material remains of a world torn asunder, and how those remains connect survivors with their past. It is the story of Jews struggling to understand the new realities of their post- Holocaust world and of Western society's gradual realization of the magnitude of devastation wrought by World War II. sMost of all, it is the story of people --of Nazi leaders, ideologues, and Judaica experts; of Allied soldiers, scholars, and scoundrels; and of Jewish communities, librarians, and readers around the world"-- |cProvided by publisher. 520 "How the largest Jewish book collection in the world--four to five million volumes--was looted by the Nazis and recovered by the Allied Forces"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Jewish libraries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85070299|zEurope|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85045631-781|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Libraries|xDestruction and pillage|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2003004425|zEurope|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045631-781|xHistory |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 0 Libraries and national socialism.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85076629 650 7 Jewish libraries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 982831 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Libraries|xDestruction and pillage.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/997392 650 7 Libraries and national socialism.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/997542 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245064 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGlickman, Mark, 1963- author.|tStolen words|z9780827612082|w(DLC) 2015031831|w(OCoLC)907659422 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1124560|zOnline eBook.
