The Help Desk offers advice and assistance to victims of the Nazi regime and their descendants on questions relating to Nazi theft of cultural property. Serving as a central and initial low-threshold point of contact in Germany, it is aimed in particular at people whose place of residence is outside Germany and who are unfamiliar with German procedures, especially in connection with cultural federalism. The Help Desk seeks to provide support in taking initial steps as well as providing further contacts and information. We will also be happy to help initiate discussions with museums and other institutions.

Magdeburg, where our Foundation is based, was deeply shaken on Friday evening by an attack on the Christmas market.
Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and we mourn with them. Fortunately, no Foundation staff have been affected as far as we know to date. Though the motives remain entirely unclear, the shock just a few days before Christmas is profound.
