[edit] Plunder of Jewish Property in the Nazi-Occupied Areas of the Soviet Union

Plunder of Jewish Property in the Nazi-Occupied Areas of the Soviet Union

As in other occupied areas, Jewish property in the USSR was plundered. The plunder’s special character derived from the unusual economic conditions in the country, the nature of the personal property there, and the variety of interested German functionaries. Specially appointed bodies were designated to deal with expropriating Jewish property, but this was complicated by the conflicting interests of the various German – civilian and military – and local authorities, with each desiring the property and seeking to profit from it. The plunder was undertaken through a variety of means, such as expropriating homes, financial levies (“contributions”), collecting furniture, household wares, work tools and clothing, etc. The plundered money and/or property was meant generally for immediate local use and was sometimes sent to other authorities. At times, the local authorities got part of the property (usually apartments), and in other cases the German authorities rewarded collaborators with this property. Alongside the official plunder, for which there are estimates, there was also private plunder for personal use, plunder whose volume reached several hundred million Reichsmarks, if not billions.

How is the above passage related to this article? I'd suggest it be inserted in an article on the topic noted, citing Yitzhak Arad (if he's the author). Deborahjay 01:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yitzhak Arad as IDF Chief Education Officer (pre-1972)?

I've heard that Brigadier General Yitzhak Arad held the post of IDF Chief Education Officer, but I've yet to corroborate this with some authoritative source. I can do the library research next week, but would appreciate if anyone can fill this in, particularly the dates, and any other pertinent details about his military career in Israel.

(NB: Missed my chance to ask him over lunch today, after hearing him speak on Operation Barbarossa. At least it motivated me to do a rewrite/expansion of this article :-) Deborahjay 01:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
