Plunderer: The Life and Times of a Nazi Art Thief (Part One)

Historian Jonathan Petropoulos investigates the life of former Nazi art dealer Bruno Lohse and his role in the Nazi looting operation, interviewing Lohse himself, as well as curators, art investigators, Lohse's associates, and descendants of the victims of Nazi art theft. He became Hermann Göring's personal collector in Paris, tasked with finding the most desirable works of art the Nazis stole from Jews. Post-war, Lohse spent a brief time in prison but then returned to Munich and resumed his career as a dealer, more often than not trading in art looted during World War II. With a look at stunning masterpieces and a deep archive of personal letters, Plunderer reveals the dark underbelly of the international art world.
