dc.description.abstractThe Second World War continues to shape the world to this day as academics and novices alike research and evaluate the cataclysmic conflict. Amongst their other atrocities, Hitler and the Nazi Party systematically looted artifacts throughout Europe. Leaving not only millions of European families displaced but their possessions as well. For a better understanding of the effects of cultural theft, this thesis examines the role of historic preservation within repatriation, using the Second World War as an overarching case study. Despite the efforts made through international conferences, domestic agreements, and formal commitments to return pieces, the path toward repatriating stolen cultural heritage remains difficult. In light of the growing displacement of cultural artifacts, this thesis proposes that historic preservationists possess a position to influence the American repatriation process.en_US
