The documentary film, The Rape of Europa, is an epic journey through seven countries, into the violent whirlwind of fanaticism, greed, and warfare that threatened to wipe out the artistic heritage of Europe during World War II.

 

For twelve years, the Nazis looted and destroyed art on a scale unprecedented in history. Heroic young art historians and curators from America and across Europe fought back with a miraculous campaign to rescue and return the countless lost, hidden and stolen treasures.  USA, 2007, English, 117 minutes
