One of the elements of the operation of the Auschwitz camp was looting of the property of people deported to the camp. This was most intensified when Nazi Germany began the extermination of Jews at Auschwitz.

Most of the property was sent to the Third Reich, where it was handed over to various groups of the German population, organizations and institutions.

Dr. Jacek Lachendro, deputy head of the Museum's Research Center, talks about the looting process at : https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/auschwitz-memorial/episodes/On-Auschwitz-35-Plunder-of-the-property-of-Auschwitz-victims-e280762
