The Looted Art Research Unit is an educational and research-based body which acts as a centre for all information and documentation on cultural property looted, confiscated or lost between 1933 and 1945, including paintings, drawings, sculpture, decorative arts, books, manuscripts, Judaica and archives. It has become the centre of expertise in this field in Europe.
From 2001 to 2015 the Research Unit was hosted by the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies. At the invitation of the European Association for Jewish Studies (EAJS), the leading umbrella body for academic Jewish Studies in Europe, the Research Unit will henceforth be working under the auspices of EAJS.
