 Jaujard, however, could do very little to protect the private art collections of Paris and France from the predations of the ERR.These collections – those of the French Rothschilds; Paul Rosenberg, the art dealer; Georges and Daniel Wildenstein; the investment banker Pierre David-Weill; Germain Seligman, the art historian and dealer; Alphonse Kann; and the other great collectors of the time – were systematically subjected to confiscations under various bureaucratically outlined pretenses of "protection", and were then brought to the "Jeu de Paume" museum, where they were cataloged and divided up for Hitler's collection – Posse took 53 paintings, for Göring's, for the use of Alfred Rosenberg's "scholarly" institutions which were attempting to prove the inferiority of Jews, as well as for other purposes.Fortunately, Rose Valland – at the time an unpaid museum employee, later the museum's "attaché" and "Assistante", – was a member of the French resistance, and had remained working at the museum on Jaujard's orders.
