SUMMARY:Nazi Art Looting During World War II
DESCRIPTION:Even before taking power in 1933\, the leaders of Nazi German
 y were obsessed with art. Following Hitler’s lead\, high-ranking officia
 ls competed to build enormous collections. What might have looked like o
 rdinary art collecting soon became something far darker: a systematic ca
 mpaign to seize art from Jewish collectors and from anyone the regime la
 beled “degenerate” or an enemy of the state.\n\nThis presentation explor
 es how that obsession turned into one of the largest art-looting operati
 ons in history. After the outbreak of war in 1939\, Nazi officials and o
 rganizations swept across occupied Europe\, stealing masterpieces from m
 useums\, galleries\, and private homes. Discover how this massive plunde
 r unfolded\, who carried it out\, and how the search for these stolen wo
 rks continues today.\n\n \n\nPaul B. Jaskot is Professor of Art History 
 & German Studies at Duke University. His work specializes on the politic
 al history of Nazi culture and its postwar impact.\n\nSource: Durham Cou
