Produktinformationen zu „The Munich Art Hoard “
Reading like a mystery novel, this new title tells the story of Hitler's art dealer, Hildebrand Gurlitt, and his incredible collection. The author, Catherine Hickley, has immersed herself in the subject since the news of the discovery in 2012, conducting dozens of interviews to untangle one of the darkest stories in history.
Klappentext zu „The Munich Art Hoard “
In February 2012, in a Munich flat belonging to the elderly recluse, Cornelius Gurlitt, German customs authorities seized an astonishing hoard of more than 1,200 paintings, drawings and prints. When Hildebrand Gurlitt's trove became public in November 2013, it caused a worldwide media sensation. Catherine Hickley has delved into archives and conducted dozens of interviews to uncover the story behind the headlines. Her book illuminates a dark period of German history, untangling a web of deceit and silence that has prevented the heirs of Jewish collectors from recovering art stolen from their families more than seven decades ago by the Nazis. Hickley recounts the shady history of the Gurlitt hoard and brings its story right up to date, as 21st-century politicians and lawyers puzzle over the inadequacies of a legal framework that to this day falls short in securing justice for the heirs of those robbed by the Nazis. Hickley is the world's leading journalist in the field of Nazi-looted art and a former arts and culture reporter for Bloomberg News.
