The Lost Museum tells the story of the Jewish art collectors and gallery owners in France who were stripped of rare works by artists such as Vermeer, Rembrandt, Degas, Cézanne, and Picasso. Before they were through, the Nazis had taken more than 20,000 paintings, sculptures, and drawings from France. The Lost Museum explores the Nazis’ systematic confiscation of these artworks, focusing on the private collections of five families: Rothschild, Rosenberg, Bernheim-Jeune, David-Weill, and Schloss. The book is filled with private family photos of this art, some of which has never before been seen by the public, and it traces the fate of these works as they passed through the hands of top German officials, unscrupulous art dealers, and unwitting auction houses such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s. 650 0 Art thefts |zFrance |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 World War, |y1939-1945 |xArt and the war. 650 0 Pillage |zFrance. 651 0 Germany |xCultural policy. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6709_000000000000000__44_09044_FEL |70 |8GEN |9155411OSA |bOSA |d2021-11-12 |eOSA |l0 |o709/.44/09044 FEL |r2021-11-12 |w2021-11-12 |yBK |zDonation of Márk László-Herbert. |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 2XbPLxez 992 01 709_000000000000000__44_09044_FEL |bSZQ_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ__VV_ZQZVV_KLE 966 |cIn the Research Room
