Paris — Jeu de Paume

The Monuments Men — France

Scene

The Jeu de Paume museum — used by the Nazis as a transit depot for art looted from Jewish collections across France.

History

The ERR (Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg) looted approximately 22,000 artworks from French Jewish collections alone, transiting most through the Jeu de Paume. French curator Rose Valland secretly recorded every shipment to Germany — her notes allowed the Allies to recover most of the works after liberation.
