Nazi-Looted Books in the UCLA Library Collection

Abstract
By using HathiTrust, curators from a European museum library located several books in our university collection that had been looted by the Nazis during World War II. We did not find any discussion of similar experiences among North American libraries, nor any professional guidelines for repatriating material. I will share some historical background of Nazi book policies, how these books reached our library, the repatriation process we developed, and why and how we are publicizing this case as broadly as possible.
