A fascinating story, told very soberly and in great detail, of how a vast number of art treasures were pillaged by Hitler's supporters in Europe during WW II and carried off to Germany. It also explains how many others were ingeniously concealed from the Nazis and protected against damage from Allied bombs. Names of many of the treasures are given together with accounts of how they were recovered and restored to museums and private owners.
