A Fascinating Read

 

What a well researched story, I am particularly interested in this part of history, not just jews artists but Nazi looted works of art, having seen Woman in Gold film 2015, read woman on fire Lsa Barr and who has not watched The Monument Men 2014 film.


Hannah and her family, shows 1930s with jewish artists, actors, and eminent accademia through to the fear of the Nazi regieme. 


This story tells of jewish women creating art which was stolen from them and at times changed to suit the german nationalists objects - used as proganda for Nazi gain. Jewish artists murdered and then thier work attibuted to Germans (some fictious) 


We will never know just how much was destroyed, and if any did survive we will never know who the artist was as they went into collections hidden.


It is a a really sad part of history but also fascinating also as we have seen on BBC Fake or Fortune. 


Well written, well researched and a really good read.


Sadly not due for publication unitl July 9th 2026.
