Aryanized: stolen by the Nazis from the Jews and taken by whoever was high ranking or highly connected enough to take it home. Or on a smaller scale, whoever was holding the gun at the head of the Jew. Anything of value. Art, jewels, metals, fine porcelains, furs, statuary, furniture, bank accounts, real estate, businesses, cars. Anything the Nazis could take and the Jews could not defend. Money and jewelry removed from murdered Jews whose bodies were searched and defiled. Gold dental work removed pre and posthumously. Hair forcibly shaven and used to stuff upholstery. Skin taken from murdered Jews and made into lampshades. Soap produced by boiling the bones of murdered Jews. Anything the Nazis could take from the Jews whether alive or dead.
