Crimes Against Culture: Art and the Nazis Film Series: "The Rape of Europa"

“The Rape of Europa” tells the epic story of the systematic theft, destruction and miraculous survival of Europe’s art treasures during the Third Reich and World War II. A fascinating look into the real-life “Monuments Men,” this documentary takes viewers into the violent whirlwind of fanaticism, greed and warfare that threatened to wipe out the artistic heritage of Europe and tells the story of the heroic young art historians and curators who rescued and returned the millions of lost, hidden and stolen treasures. Directed by Richard Berge, Bonni Cohen and Nicole Newnham; narrated by Joan Allen. 2006, NR, 117 min. A discussion will follow this film. Cosponsored by Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies. Sponsored by UGA Parents & Families.
