Official Presentations, Reports and Speeches:

In April 2000 the Commission published its 3,000-page report, which states that $1.3 billion worth of Jewish assets were looted by both the Vichy regime and the German authorities. The report also mentions that 90 percent of plundered assets were restituted after the war. (But this statement cannot refer to the 100,000 looted art objects, of which 60,000 were restituted to France). The report concluded with several recommendations, including setting up a foundation with the objective of keeping alive the memory of those who perished and learning lessons from these events.
