Based on Lynn Nicholas' award-winning book, The Rape of Europa is an epic story of the systematic theft, deliberate destruction and miraculous survival of Europe's art treasures during the Second World War. It interweavesthe history of Nazi art looting with the stories of contemporary restitution cases, including Gustav Klimt's portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. This famed Gold Portrait, stolen from Viennese Jews in 1938 is now the most expensive painting ever sold. It also tells of the unprecedented heroic efforts of the U.S. "Monuments Men" who safeguarded and returned displaced art after WWII. Narrated by Joan Allen this breathtaking chronicle about the battle over the very survival of centuries of western culture continues to play out , even today, as families of looted collectors recover major works of art, conservators repair battle damage, and nations fight over the fate of ill-gotten spoils of war.
