It’s the story of how the world’s greatest art and cultural objects were systematically and haphazardly stolen and hidden from the victims of World War II and destroyed by greed, viciousness and sheer ignorance, and how men and women dedicated their lives to returning and restoring them to the public.

A sweeping survey of the highs and lows of human activity — the incongruity of the beauty of high-art and the horror of war.
