Summary:

"The primary task assigned to the researchers who carried out the investigation for the Stedelijk Museum was to identify works that might have a problematic provenance. Their in-depth research also shed new light on the Stedelijk Museum's activities before, during and after the war, however. These stories, mainly of tragedy but occasionally also of heroism, are told in the exhibition ... and in this publication"--Page 8.
