Research findings

How this object was acquired by museum and who owner it before is no longer known.

During the Second World War, the theft of Jewish ritual objects was widespread. Because so little is known about the candelabrum's origins, its provenance may very well be problematic.

Het is niet bekend hoe dit object in het museum terechtkwam en aan wie het voordien toebehoorde. [nl]

Joodse rituele objecten werden op grote schaal geroofd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Omdat zo weinig bekend is over de herkomstgeschiedenis, kan niet worden uitgesloten dat ook hier sprake is van een problematische herkomst. [nl]
