My other channel, Great Books Explained here - https://www.youtube.com/@greatbooksexplained371 The Monuments Men and Women Foundation - https://www.monumentsmenandwomenfnd.org WWII's most wanted art - https://www.monumentsmenandwomenfnd.org/join-the-hunt/wwii-most-wanted Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon (and getting exclusive content including the uncensored version of this video), thanks! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=53686503 or if you prefer a one-off donation - https://paypal.me/GreatArtExplained?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB Alternatively, every video has a "thanks" button under it- I appreciate it! This film looks at how stolen art “disappears” in a complicated practise designed to obscure facts and create wealth for the art market. How the true owners of these artworks, the descendants of Holocaust victims, are still fighting a system that stops at nothing to keep secrets and protect its wealthy clientele. There are works in private collections and established museums right now, which were stolen by the Nazis. I think, it’s about time they were returned. IMPORTANT!

This is a story that need to be told again and again. If we lose our art, we lose everything. What a tribute to this collection.

Brilliant work, as always. The more visibility on these stolen works of art, the more likely they are to be recovered and returned to their rightful owners. This film does a great service in educating the public in that regard. Bravo.

The men and women who found art hidden by the Nazis and returned it to their rightful owners, deserve so much appreciation and respect from all of us.

We are rightly quick to condemn Hitler and yet his policies that benefit the rich today are supported by the establishment. It’s terrible. Love how instead of just saying someone died in the camps this video states clearly that they were murdered. Not only an explanation of great art but also of recent history. Great work!

Behaviour by these collectors needs to be punished. It’s disgusting how establishment protects the wealthy. Thank you for this interesting video.
