SUMMARY:Nazi Art Looting During World War II
DESCRIPTION:Even before taking power in 1933\, the leaders of Nazi Germany 
 were obsessed with art. Following Hitler’s lead\, high-ranking officials 
 competed to build enormous collections. What might have looked like 
 ordinary art collecting soon became something far darker: a systematic 
 campaign to seize art from Jewish collectors and from anyone the regime 
 labeled “degenerate” or an enemy of the state.\n\nThis presentation 
 explores how that obsession turned into one of the largest art-looting 
 operations in history. After the outbreak of war in 1939\, Nazi officials 
 and organizations swept across occupied Europe\, stealing masterpieces from 
 museums\, galleries\, and private homes. Discover how this massive plunder 
 unfolded\, who carried it out\, and how the search for these stolen works 
 continues today.\n\n \n\nPaul B. Jaskot is Professor of Art History & 
 German Studies at Duke University. His work specializes on the political 
 history of Nazi culture and its postwar impact.
