Nicholas M. O'Donnell, "A Tragic Fate: Law and Ethics in the Battle Over Nazi-Looted Art"
English | ISBN: 1634257332 | 2017 | 400 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
The organized theft of fine art by Nazi Germany has captivated worldwide attention in the last twenty years. As much as any other topic arising out of World War Two, stolen art has proven to be an issue that simply will not go away. Newly found works of art pit survivors and their heirs against museums, foreign nations, and even their own family members. These stories are enduring because they speak to one of the core tragedies of the Nazi era: how a nation at the pinnacle of fine art and culture spawned a legalized culture of theft and plunder.
