This excellent book is the French translation of Lost Lives, Lost Art: Jewish Collectors, Nazi Art Theft, and the Quest for Justice by Melissa Müller (Anne Frank: The Biography) and Monika Tatzkow (Nazi Looted Art) with introduction by Ronald S Lauder
The incredible stories of fifteen major Jewish art collectors, whose extraordinary collections were scattered by Nazi looting or forced sales, and the ongoing efforts of their heirs to recover their inheritance.
Particularly relevent and useful book in light of the secrecy and confusion surrounding the discovery of 1400 artworks of suspect provenance in the Gurlitt apartment in Munich. See "Gurlitt: pouquoi la spoiliation fut encore plus massive" par François Guillaume Lorrain in Le Point
Now available in French.
"The book is meticulously researched, brilliantly and dispassionately written, and is in all likelihood a game changer in the world of art, art provenance, and art restitution that will resound for years to come."~ ForeWord Reviews
"Richly illustrated with excellent art reproductions and family photographs, this is a solid addition to works on Nazi art plundering and the world of art restitution, ownership, and property rights. This will be of great interest to readers wanting to know more about upper-class Austrian and German Jews. Recommended." ~ Library Journal
