14 months, 1 week, 6 days, 16 hours agoThis stunning documentary now on DVD tells the story of how during WWII, the Nazis caused the biggest looting, destruction and survival of many of the most important of European art up until that time. The story tells of many of the famous works of art are being returned to the rightful homes, being repaired, and are being fought over by the greedy nations. One major piece the movie talks about is the Gold Portrait, the most expensive piece of art today, and its tale of being taken from the Jews in 1938. Now after the end of the Cold War, these pieces are emerging, each spinning a tale of their survival. This documentary shows how the Nazis wanted to control the world in all manners, including culturally. Each piece of art is taken through its journey from beginning to its current location.
