"From 1940 to 1944 the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg, headed by members of the Nazi party, and Sonderstab Bildende Kunst, its fine arts division, amassed over 22,000 artworks mainly from Jewish collections. They also seized degenerate art, which included many outstanding examples of early modernism. This collection was housed in the "Room of Martyrs" and sold and exchanged to finance the war." – Heide Fasnacht
