During Word War II the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) led Nazi efforts to study, catalog, and capture cultural materials, both in public and private possession, from the occupied countries of Europe. Among the ERR's objectives was an effort to understand the ideological and philosophical underpinnings of "opponents of National Socialism." This collection includes ERR's daily and weekly reports from 1941 until 1944. They include details of inspections of private apartments, primarily those of Jewish citizens, and the "requisitioning" of libraries, archives, and private collections from such private residences. Files also include materials relating to other occupied European countries: Belgium, France, Netherlands, among others.
