The life and times of a Nazi art thief - part 2

A mini documentary series. It unpacks the decades-spanning crimes of Bruno Lohse. In 1939, the Nazis commenced the century’s most sprawling art theft. As Hitler’s armies swept across Europe so did they begin snatching up art and objects from Jewish homes, galleries, museums, and private collections. A depot was set up by the Reichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce (ERR) at the Jeu de Paume in Paris to receive these works; over four years, it saw the delivery of more than 21,900 artworks. This entire operation of plunder, said historian Jonathan Petropoulos, was carried out with “industrial efficiency.”
