Karl Schlabow
Karl Schlabow was a German textile specialist and museum director associated with the Nazi regime during World War II. He was tasked in 1941 with a study of the Bayeux Tapestry, an iconic 11th-century textile that narrates the Norman conquest of England. Schlabow's work was part of the Ahnenerbe, a Nazi institute focused on researching the supposed ancestral heritage of the Aryan race. His involvement in the appropriation of historical artifacts during the occupation has led to ongoing discussions about the restitution of such items.
