The snapshots reveal a surreal display of furniture and everyday household goods as if it were an Ikea supermarket, merchandised to catch the shopper\u2019s eye. Except in this case, the \u201cshopper\u201d was the Nazi, the \u201csales assistants\u201d were Jewish prisoners and the \u201cproduct\u201d on sale had been looted from their Parisian homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/static.messynessychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/loadimg-6.jpeg\" alt=\"loadimg (6)\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/static.messynessychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/levitan31.jpg\" alt=\"levitan3\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/static.messynessychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/levitan21.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\">Most of these photographs were taken inside a Parisian department store called L\u00e9vitan, opened by a Jewishman called Wolf Levitan in the 1930s to specialise in furniture. Located at 85-87 Rue Faubourg Saint Martin in the 10th arrondissement, the building was confiscated from its former owner by the Nazis.
