Nazi Thieves, Looted Art, and Stolen Legacies

October 25, 2021 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm EDT

Dazzling art, dubious dealers, and greedy Nazi leaders eager to convey an air of grandeur and power. That’s only part of the story behind one of the greatest thefts in history. The Nazi plot to strip Jews of their art, furnishings, and even objects of little value was a sign of their greater ambition—to destroy a people and rewrite history. Watch live on Facebook to learn about some of the victims and perpetrators—and a mole who secretly documented the theft and hiding places of priceless art.
