During World War II, the Nazis plundered from occupied countries
millions of items of incalculable artistic and sentimental value
estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Spearheaded by
Hermann Goring, Reichsmarschall of the Third Reich, the looting
program quickly created the largest private art collection in the
world, exceeding the collections amassed by the Metropolitan in New
York, the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris and the
Tretiaskov Gallery in Moscow. By the end of the war, the Nazis had
stolen roughly one-fifth of the entire art treasures of the world.
This work explores the history and formation of the Nazi art
collection and the methods used by Goring and his party to strip
occupied Europe of a large part of its artistic heritage.
