AUG. 1943 1.) Note Betr.: Exploitation of art objects from Jewish possession. The Central Office for the Settlement of the Jewish Question in Bohemia and Moravia has kept the Jewish-owned art objects incurred during the evacuation in the Langegasse 5 and Leimergasse 7 camps. The existing art objects were examined by Prof. Svoboda and Prof. v. Both compiled in a Kathalog and evaluated according to the following points of view: I artistically particularly valuable, II valuable for Bohemian Moravian space, III artistically valuable, but without special significance for space, IV without artistic value. The catalogue was then also presented to the Higher 4j and Police Leader, i-Obergruppenführer Frank. On 18.2.1943 the head of the 4i- Wirtschaft-Verwaltungshaupt- amtes, i-Obergruppenführer P o h l, accompanied by his representative, i group leader F r a n k, looked at the camps in detail. On this occasion Obergruppenfahrer Pohl personally selected items in the value of RM 1l3.173.- for the association for the preservation of German cultural monuments. These works of art were particularly noted in the catalogue presented at that time by the senior group leader Frank. Prof. Svoboda proposed to leave the selected objects, even if they belong to category I and II, to the 4-administrative economic office and thus to satisfy the claims on this page. i-Obergruppen- führer Pohl stressed that he had spoken with both 4-Oberst group leader Daluege and 4-Ogergruppenführer Frank on the question of the exploitation of these art objects; b.W.
