The study is the first contribution to tracing the fate of objects of artistic or historic interest derived from the confiscated property of Jews during the so-called Slovak state. The Ministry of Education and National Enlightenment, which was responsible for monument protection at the time, strove for the transfer of objects of artistic or historic interest from Jewish owners to museums. However, the Ministry of Finance frustrated its ambitions by demanding the unconditional sale of these valuable objects. The Ministry of Education secured the assessment of Jewish possessions with artistic or historic value and compilation of a list of objects to be bought, but the Ministry of Finance did not agree. The study traces the steps of individual ministries in dealing with objects of artistic, scientific or historic value owned by Jews.

The study is concerned with the activities of the journalist, politician, sociologist and teacher Anton Štefánek at the Bratislava office of the Ministry of Education and National Enlightenment, a branch of the central ministry in Prague. He made good use of his preceding years of national, social, political, cultural, educational and political activity, in favour of organizing and directing education and public information in Slovakia. Under Štefánek’s leadership in the period 1918 – 1923, the office of the ministry laid the foundations of Slovak education in the First Czechoslovak Republic. The institution participated in the Slovakization and unification of education in Slovakia and preparation of the so-called Little Education Act of 1922. Štefánek was a member and functionary of the Republican Party of Agrarian and Small-Farming People. He devoted attention to the institutionalization of education of the general public, especially of the rural population.
