    Abstract: During the Dutch Golden Age in Amsterdam, the engraver Salom Italia, a Ashkenazi Jew born in Mantua in 1619, invented a new style of decoration for the scrolls that told the biblical story of Esther. This tale of Jewish exile in ancient Persia still appeals to the imagination: the salvation of the Jews by the clever Queen Esther is celebrated each year by Jews around the world on the joyous holiday of Purim. Salom Italia's Esther scrolls are lavishly illustrated with triumphal arches, pictures of the main characters, narrative scenes, and vignettes with Dutch landscapes. His original decorations reflect the successful integration of Spanish and Portuguese Jews into their new homeland, the Netherlands. Even today, Italia's Esther scrolls are coveted collectors' items. Now, for the first time, six of these world-class masterpieces have been brought together, accompanied by the work of Dutch contemporaries who inspired Salom Italia.

    Keywords: Raub ; Jüdische Kunst ; Sammlung ; Restitution (Kulturpolitik) ; Weltkrieg
    Abstract: A number of recent publications have explored what became of art looted during the Second World War and its aftermath, but little attention has been paid to the fate of Jewish ceremonial objects used during synagogue services and in private households. Like other cultural artefacts, ceremonial objects were silent witnesses to a historical period of profound injustice. In this book, museum professionals from Amsterdam, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Frankfurt, Warsaw and Los Angeles, along with a number of other researchers, tell the story of these objects for the first time: their looting, their rediscovery, the difficult process of restitution and their worldwide dispersion after the war to locations that often remain unknown. Within the context of European history, the articles explore the complex web of interests and relationships between the victims, the perpetrators, the Allies and the Axis countries. They do not address claims and restitution issues, but seek to foster understanding of the diverse range of situations in the many countries confronting these issues, situations arising from specific historical and political events during and after the Second World War. The book is also a valuable reference work with photographs and the texts of the international agreements on provenance research and restitution.

    Abstract: In de winter van 2011 - 2012 presenteert De Nieuwe Kerk Amsterdam in samenwerking met het Joods Historisch Museum een tentoonstelling over het jodendom. Aan de hand van ongeveer 500 bruiklenen vertelt de tentoonstelling het fascinerende verhaal van drieduizend jaar joodse religie, cultuur, kunst en geschiedenis. De geschiedenis van een wereldreligie die herkenbaar wist te blijven ondanks verschillen wereldwijd. De bruiklenen komen van internationaal gerenommeerde musea en collecties en uit particulier bezit. De meeste ervan zijn nooit eerder in Nederland te zien geweest. Absolute topstukken zijn onder andere: een Dode Zee-rol uit de eerste eeuw v.Chr. uit het Israel Museum in Jeruzalem, de oudste complete Torarol, oorspronkelijk uit Erfurt en nu in de Staatsbibliothek in Berlijn, kostbare handschriften, twee schilderijen van Chagall uit het Tel Aviv Museum of Art, maar ook The Alefbet Tapestry van de hedendaagse Russisch-Amerikaanse kunstenaar Grisha Bruskin.
