On it, in particular, the works of Franz Marc, Emil Nolde, Otto Dix, Marc Chagall, Max Beckmann, Vasily Kandinsky and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. About each of the pictures tells of a museum it was removed. If the product was not destroyed, is called its current location.

Mike Hoffmann (Meike Hoffmann), one of the scientists who worked on the site, told Bloomberg, that the goal was not only a catalog "degenerate art", but also to show what a rich collection had a German museums in 1930.

While the site is only available in German, but English version of the promise to open in the coming weeks.

The Nazis called "degenerate" avant-garde, as well as art, which was seen as a "Jewish" or "Bolshevik." In 1937, at the direction of Goebbels in Munich opened the exhibition "Degenerate Art", representing nearly 650 works confiscated in the 32 museums in Germany. Pictures are often hung unframed and among racist graffiti. Until April 1941 exhibition toured 12 other cities in Austria and Germany, a total it was visited by three million viewers.
