Book A.G. Mosyakin is dedicated to one of the most taboo subjects of World War II - values ​ ​ displaced during the global cataclysm (gold, works of art, historical artifacts, etc.). Based on the available facts, as well as materials from closed international conferences on Nazi gold (1997) and displaced cultural and historical values ​ ​ (1998), the book tells not only about the plunder of European peoples by the Hitler regime and its minions, but also about the post-war fate of looted treasures, a significant part of which was seized by the Western allies, primarily the United States, and used for their political and financial and economic purposes. The book with many documents and illustrations is designed for historians, political scientists and a wide range of readers.
