The Faustian bargain

Meer over het boek

Hitler and his consorts carried out the most extensive looting campaign in history - the theft and forced sale of millions of works of art belonging to Jews. This plunder could not have been carried out without the co-operation of German art experts. Who they were and what motivated respected professionals to sell their souls to the Nazi regime? In this text, Petrpoulos follows the careers of prominent figures who collaborated with the Nazis and implemented their programme of systematic plunder.
