Art stolen by the Nazis: documentary airs this week on Sky Arte

Airing this week on Sky Arte, Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 12 at 8:30 a.m., the docu-series The Nazis and Stolen Art, which investigates the Nazis’ obsession with art that drove them to steal so many masterpieces during World War II. The series consists of three episodes that the broadcaster plays in rotation.

Each episode is 40 minutes long. In the first, titled Hitler and Goering: the Great Plunder, it sheds light on why the Nazis were so obsessed with art, as well as the many thefts of masterpieces they perpetrated during World War II. In the second, Artists and Merchants of the Third Reich, the role of patrons is explored and the artistic ideal to which Nazi Germany aspired is explored, and finally in the third, Monuments Men: an open history, the figures of the scholars and military personnel who helped recover the works stolen by the Nazis are examined.
