Restitutions committee
Since January 2002, the
Restitutions Committee has been investigating and assessing individual applications for the restitution of cultural assets that went missing during the Second World War. The committee comprises legal advisers, historians and art historians and makes independent recommendations to the Minister of Education, Culture and Science. These applications concern claims for works of art of which the owner relinquished possession involuntarily due to circumstances directly related to the Nazi regime.
On this website, you will find the recommendations about which the minister has come to a decision, as well as summaries and press reports.
