Looted Books in Nuremberg - The Julius Streicher Collection - Books Not Only In Austria

[Jan Meisels Allen janmallen@att.net]

X-No-archive: yes
The Jewish Community (IKG) Nuremberg owns the formerly known "Sturmer" or
"Streicher Library", today known as the Israeli Cultural Community-IKG, a
collection of approximately 10,000 books stolen by the Nazis.

IKG has a special interest in restoring the library to its rightful
owners. Restitution is free of charge. So far, more than 700 writings
were returned to approximately 170 persons or entities in ten different
countries.

It is very important to understand that the books are not only from
Austria -- in fact the research of the provenance references in the
writings in 25 languages has resulted in over 2,200 former owners from
localities in Europe and Overseas.

Three geographical focal areas have been crystalized: Nuremberg, Franconia;
Strasbourg, Alsace-Lorrain; and Vienna, Austria.

You might recall that last year I posted about this in September 2015
and some previous Austrian owners were "reunited" with their property.

As genealogists we know the importance of provenance research which relies
on family research. Therefore, your assistance in this matter is being
requested.

On the above-mentioned website is a letter from Magister Leibl Rosenberg,
the representative of the city of Nuremberg for the IKG, who is asking for
our collective assistance in identifying the original owners of the 10,000
books.

Please share this email with your members, place it in your society
newsletters and Facebook pages. Today, I learned within hours of
GenTeam placing the notice on their Facebook page they solved a case in
Israel and one in Warsaw.

Please contact Leibl.r...@stadtnuernberg.de with any questions or
research findings.
