Answer 2

There were three major reasons for the confiscation of Jewish property during the Holocaust.

1) Finance: Jewish property provided the Nazi government with the necessary wealth to continue the war effort. Jews in the pre-war period were not especially wealthy, but had enough money that in vast swathes, their possessions could fill national coffers.

2) Cultural Removal: The Nazis intended to remove all traces of Judaism from Europe and confiscating Jewish property allowed them to more effectively remove the Jewish influence in any given area.

3) Museums: Some Jews possessed outstanding pieces of artwork which the Nazis wanted to exhibit permanently in national galleries commemorating their greatness. Also, there were numerous Jewish artifacts that the Nazis wished to preserve in Jewish Museums which would serve to document the Nazi Triumph over the Exterminated Jew.
