June 14, 2013 Did you know… Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), along with representatives from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., announced the seizure of the long-lost "Rosenberg Diary.” Alfred Rosenberg, a close confidant of Adolf Hitler, was one of the most influential members of the Third Reich and of the Nazi Party. Thanks to the efforts of ICE, this important record of the crimes committed by the Nazi Party is now preserved for all to see, study and learn from. In November 2012, HSI special agents received information from an art security specialist, who was working with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, regarding the search for the Rosenberg Diary. The Rosenberg Diary was subsequently located and seized. This important document will expand our understanding of a dark period in history and also provide invaluable information to scholars and historians as part of the collection at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. ICE plays a leading role in criminal investigations that involve the illegal importation and distribution of cultural property. Since 2007, ICE has returned more than 7,150 artifacts to 26 countries.
