520 _aThe German system of looting in the Netherlands during the World War II has been remarkably systematic and it were mostly Jews who fell victim to the greed of the German occupiers. The expropriations in the Low Countries were generally based on decrees ( Verordnungen) which had the force of statute law. The looting of art has been a special chapter in the history of spoliation. Adolf Hitler and the second man of the Reich, Hermann Göring, were both interested in art with a preference for paintings and sculptures. Both men had their own special agent for the acquiring of pieces of art in the Netherlands. The Dutch government in exile (London) prepared laws to restitute the looted possessions to their lawful owners. So both looting and restitution was a matter a of law, but as the article shows there are remarkable differences between law and justice.
