"Great Art and Everyday Matters – Shedding Light on Provenance Research in Hesse"

Panel discussion (in German) accompanying the exhibition “StolperSeiten – NS Raubgut in der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt am Main”, exploring holdings in Frankfurt am Main’s university library which were found to have been looted by the Nazis.

With Eva Raabe (director of the Weltkulturen Museum), Daniel Dudde M.A. (provenance researcher at Universitätsbibliothek J. C. Senckenberg, Frankfurt am Main), Dr. Udo Felbinger (provenance researcher at Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt) and Dr. Saskia Johann (consultant on provenance research at Hessischer Museumsverband, Kassel). The event will be moderated by Imke Folkerts (consultant for internal communication in the PR and communication department, Goethe-Universität). The library is exploring a number of questions in this project: Who did a particular book belong to? Who was this person and what was their fate? How did these books get into the library and who was involved in this process? What counts as looted goods and what doesn’t? You can find more information on the exhibition at Frankfurt’s university library here.
