«“Elizabeth Campbell examines the way in which American and European historians have explained the pillage of artworks by the Nazis and how this research has encouraged European museums and public institutions to look at their collections in a new ethical light. Her research examines the various ways in which public collections are seeking just and fair solutions by doing detailed provenance research. Campbell's far-ranging new book not only builds upon Lynn Nicholas's groundbreaking work, The Rape of Europa, but enlarges its scope.” - Emmanuelle Polack, art historian»

«“A thought-provoking monograph on the transnational history of looted art in the Holocaust. Elizabeth Campbell argues that the main West European museums left the work of restitution intentionally unfinished, in order to enrich their collections. In its comparative approach between France, Belgium and the Netherlands, this book explains why the restitution process of looted art is still ongoing today.” -Jean-Marc Dreyfus, author of The Goering Catalogue»

«“In Museum Worthy, Elizabeth Campbell offers a sweeping history of the unprecedented art restitution efforts emerging from the Nazi era: from the early Allied campaign of 'Monuments Men'»

and she stresses, Womento the most recent litigation concerning high priced Nazi looted art. In her

«Museum Worthy is a worthwhile read. This book offers a useful and important perspective on restitution history. The mishandling of restitution in these three nations has had implications for the state of restitution today, which Campbell clearly hints at. A contemporary comparative study of the fallout of this lack of museum ethics in the modern-day realm of restitution would be most welcome. Art historians, historians, and legal experts should find this to be a useful read.»

«The book is richly illustrated, both in terms of images of looted items and through individual stories of loss and recovery. The reader is introduced to the voices of victims, restitution advocates, museum directors, and politicians through Campbell's extensive archival research in multiple countries as well as through memoirs and interviews. [Museum Worthy] contributes to a growing body of scholarship related to restitution and reparations that engages with the enormous, ongoing, and transnational impact of the Holocaust.»
