About Commiss. for the Restitution of Property and the Compensation of Victims of Anti-Semitic Spoliations

A consultative commission reporting to the Prime Minister, the CIVS is responsible for examining individual claims submitted by victims or their heirs for compensation for losses resulting from anti-Semitic spoliations that occurred in France between 1940 and 1944. The CIVS also examines, on its own initiative or at the request of the person concerned, cases of anti-Semitic spoliation of cultural goods committed between 1933 and 1945 in a country influenced by Nazi Germany, when the cultural property is now in France in public collections or similar. The CIVS is not a court. It is responsible for drawing up and proposing appropriate reparation, restitution or compensation measures, which are forwarded to the Prime Minister.
