The Department of State and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum hosted the Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets at the Department of State November 30 through December 3, 1998. More than 40 governments as well as numerous international non-governmental organizations with a stake in these issues were invited to send delegations to the conference, which built on the work of the December 1997 London Nazi Gold conference.

Additional information about and from the conference can be found on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum web site.

Also, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) held a related symposium on records and research relating to Holocaust-era assets on December 4, 1998 at the National Archives.
