The Nazi war on European culture produced the greatest dislocation of art, archives, and libraries in the history of the world. In the ruins of the Reich, Allied occupiers found millions of paintings, books, manuscripts, and pieces of sculpture. This 2006 book tells the story of how the American restitution effort coped with restoring Europe's cultural heritage.
