Maurice de Rothschild-Depot der Botschaft rue de Lille 80 — Paris, France |
| Collection: |
(BoR) Botschaft Rothschild--The largest collections stolen in France mostly by specialized elements of the German occupation forces belonged to the Rothschild family. The German Embassy in Paris guided by Ambassador Otto Abetz, oversaw the plunder of property belonging to various members of the Rothschild family, including Maurice, Alexandrine, James-Armand and Edmond. These early removals of Rothschild property occurred in the summer and fall of 1940 and were greatly aided by the Devisenschutzkommando (DSK), a securities and financial fraud police organization that had jurisdiction over bank vaults and safe deposit boxes where thousands of art objects were stored for safekeeping. |

These items were in a crate set aside for von Behr at the Louvre. Of the 11 items in the original crate, BoR 146, ten were officially inventoried and carded at the Jeu de Paume. An updated account of this crate describes it as B 146 which changes the configuration slightly. However, the items have been attributed to Maurice de Rothschild. |
