The Rape of Europa Collector’s Edition
World War II was not just the most destructive conflict in humanity, it was also the greatest theft in history: lives, families, communities, property, culture and heritage were all stolen.
The Rape of Europa Collector's Edition includes the award-winning documentary film, The Rape of Europa, based on the book by Lynn Nicholas, and narrated by Academy Award-nominated actress Joan Allen. It also features interviews with key figures including the Monuments Men and other war heroes, victims of the Nazis thefts, and prominent cultural figures including Major Corine Wegener (retired), a modern day Monuments woman who served in Iraq.
The Rape of Europa Collector's Edition addresses the questions of our time about the role of art in defining culture, and our shared responsibility to protect it. Included are Charlie Rose s interviews with author Lynn Nicholas and Robert M. Edsel, co-producer of The Rape of Europa and author of the companion book, Rescuing Da Vinci.

I saw this film in the theater last year and have been looking forward to the DVD release. This is a fascinating documentary about Hitler's looting of art during WWII. Included is wonderful archival footage mixed with present day interviews with the heroes, the "Monuments Men" who helped rescue the art. There are also interviews with victims of the Nazi theft and scholars in this field. I would highly recommend this film.

I am looking forward to owning a copy of this film as well as watching the additional interviews. It is amazing there are still unknown stories about Hitler and World War II, and this is an important one. The film begins and ends with the Maria Altman case against Austria, with amazing archival footage and interviews in between. I would highly recommend.

I saw the Rape of Europa and it was captivating and illuminating. I've wanted to know more about the people and stories is documentary and this collectors edition is providing just that. This will be a tremendous addition the film libraries of WWII and art buffs alike. More importantly, this is an important story to get into the schools. The systematic theft and destruction of Europe's cultural heritage is an undertold story. There are a lot of important lessons to be gleaned from this subject.
