    Open AccessLauren Hersch NicholasARTICLEMedical Care2023References: 12

    The financial burden of illness cannot be correctly characterized without accounting for the impacts across healthy and sick members of a household.

    NAZI looting during World War II, though not unprecedented, broke all records when it came to quantity. Personally supervised by the Nazi leadership, a plethora of agencies stripped the citizens of the occupied nations of works of art, documents, books, real estate, and financial assets.
