How Europe's art treasures survived the systematic theft and
deliberate destruction perpetrated by Germany's Third Reich during
World War II.
THE RAPE OF EUROPA relates how Europe's art treasures survived
the systematic theft and deliberate destruction perpetrated by
Germany's Third Reich during World War II. For 12 years, the Nazis
looted and destroyed art on a scale unprecedented in history, but
heroic young art historians and curators from America and Europe
fought to rescue and return millions of lost, hidden and stolen
treasures. The legacy of this tragic time in history continues to
play out today as families recover looted works of art and nations
fight over the ill-gotten spoils of war. Joan Allen narrates.
