quotation
Hitler ordered Rosenberg to confiscate all Jewish art collections since these materials were now deemed "ownerless" by Nazi decree. Jews in France, as in most of Europe, were now labeled "stateless" and no longer had property rights. Nazis believed that property of "stateless" Jews reverted by law to Germany. (English)
