Documenting ERR Looted Libraries
While the ERR looting of books and archives was even more extensive than its looting of art in many German-occupied countries where they operated, specific compilations of German seizure documents for libraries in various countries has long been lacking. The presentations that follow provide overviews in specific countries of the pattern of ERR library seizure and major destinations for the books seized. Facsimile editions of the scattered ERR German documents listing library seizures are provided in compilations for several countries for which they have been found.
- French Libraries Seized by the ERR during Wartime Occupation
- Belgian Libraries Seized by the ERR during Wartime Occupation
- Dutch Libraries Seized by the ERR during Wartime Occupation (Coming later)
