Incredible Movie November 27, 2008
I don't have much to say, that hasn't already been said in previous reviews. I first saw this program on public television and it left me feeling very moved and inspired. I wanted to see it again and share it with all my friends!!! I was absolutely repulsed by the greed of the Nazi party. I guess I never realized the extent of the pillaging! It only made me hate them more and hope that the historical places on this earth never have to suffer war again!
Amazing November 25, 2008
I just watched this last evening on PBS, absolutely wonderful!! I am not well informed regarding World War II or Hitler. Of course I know the basics, but I have not read a book about World War II, except The Diary of Ann Frank when I was young. I have watched some shows on the History channel, but usually only partially. My point is, I am not well informed on this subject, or seek it out as a special interest , and I found this show to be excellent and essential. Like other reviewers, I was wishing my children had seen this in school ( they just recently graduated and are in college), and was thinking of ways teachers could incorporate this in their curriculum. I definitely want my husband and children to watch this, and I would love to see it again. Definitely a show you can watch again. It is very enlightening about Hitler, the war and just art. How many individuals placed such value and culture in our art, how emotional and important art is to life etc. I am already trying to figure out how I can see this again. As other reviewers mentioned, the live film footage is amazing. I see this is also a book, and is probably very good. The live film footage makes this a very valuable video, even if you prefer books or have read the book. I am surprised how much of the packing and saving of art was filmed when they were trying to hide this from Hitler! Definitely a must see. I am curious if this is just one person's view or would Hitler have been different if he had not been rejected from the Vienna Art Institute? Would our history be different if Hitler had been admitted to art school? What a thought, what a possibility. This really puts into perspective how Hitlers view affected many different areas of life.
The Rape of Europa Strikes at the Heart November 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Rape of Europa is a film that strikes vividly at the heart and stirs within one the emotions of sadness, rage and intense apreciation, often all at once. I first saw this film at the RiverRun International Film Festival in Winston-Salem NC and was very anxious to see it again in its limited theatre release. I was looking forward to purchasing my own copy as soon as it was available. It is a wonderful film showcasing the Nazi plunder of the European art world and the fantastic efforts of the Allied troops and the "Monument Men" in their efforts to recapture the stolen art and preserve these wonderful artworks for future generations. There are other films that touch on the same subject but none grabs at one's heart and mind the way this film does. I rate it as the best film on the subject and one that you will enjoy watching as it will truly captivate you as it progresses from start to finish.
Art thefts perpetrated by the Nazis October 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The plundering and theft of Europe's great art treasures, both publicly and privately owned, is the subject of this fine documentary film. The film is based on the book of the same title. [[ASIN:0679756868 The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War]. Both the book and the film are essential for further understanding of the myriad of facets of the evil perpetrated by the Nazis on Europe during World War II. The book has more detail, of course, but the graphic nature of the subject is well-served by the film. Seeing the "Winged Victory" descend the stairs in the Louvre for removal to a hiding place is worth more than "a thousand words."

This is the most interesting documentary I have seen. I have watched it three times and still catching information I missed before. I have bought many copies for gifts.
