What Customers Say About Rape of Europa Collector's Edition:

I just watched it again on PBS, with a small group of friends, one of them being a rabbi. This film gave me the insight of how Hitler and the Nazis, systematically moved throughout Europe, destroying people, culture and civilization, as a means to revenge his failure of getting into a prestigious Austrian art school. This would make a very good teaching tool. We enjoyed a lively discussion afterwards. Hitler was a mediocre art student. not worthy of a position there.Originally I saw this film in a movie theater, which left an huge impression on me.
There are also interviews with victims of the Nazi theft and scholars in this field. Included is wonderful archival footage mixed with present day interviews with the heroes, the "Monuments Men" who helped rescue the art. I would highly recommend this film. 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.
I'm eager to get it and learn more about this amazing chapter in history. An outstanding documentary. The collector's edition offers lots of hours of extra material.
I would highly recommend. The film begins and ends with the Maria Altman case against Austria, with amazing archival footage and interviews in between. 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.
More importantly, this is an important story to get into the schools. I saw the Rape of Europa and it was captivating and illuminating. There are a lot of important lessons to be gleaned from this subject. The systematic theft and destruction of Europe's cultural heritage is an undertold story. 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.
