DVD Reviews of Rape of Europa Collector's Edition
DVD Review: A very interesting movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this movie to be so interesting. I learned so many more things about Hitler and the way he began his terrifiyng reign. I never knew he was quite that into art and tried to destroy entire cultures by erasing their art and architecture. I saw one of my friends father in law giving commentary in this movie as an art historian and that was the most meaningful part for me. His name was Kenneth Lindsey.DVD Review: The Rape of Europa
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent film for anyone wishing to know more about European art and Hitler's quest to acquire the greatest European master pieces. The film illustrates the ravages of World War II, and the brave people that worked to preserve great art from the Nazi's.DVD Review: Rape of Europa
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're into art and/or into World War II history, then this is the movie for you.
The Rape of Europe delves into the theft and destruction of millions of dollars worth of artwork, by the Nazis, during the war.
This film also explores the means that many took to save art from Hitler.
It is an extraordinary documentary on an extraordinary subject matter and an extraordinary time in humankind's history.
Enjoy!
DVD Review: A halocaust within a halocaust.
Summary: 4 Stars
While whole races of people were being killed, & world war raged, whole cultures from the millenium of these people were being destroyed. That is the subject of this outstanding documentary. It happened in eastern Europe by the Nazi & later the Soviets & to lesser extent in western Europe. Art objects & icons of civilizations were simply wantonly destroyed. Unless these criminals could enrich themselves simply by stealing what could be carried away. The Russian were complicent in this pillaging. Remember they were allies of the Nazis in the early years of World War II. Eastern Europe especially Poland was raped twice. Once by the Nazis & then by the advancing Russian Army as the Germans retreated later in the war. This discussion is not centered on the millions of people that were exterminated. You can never minimize that. But those people left behind art of exquisite beauty & value, not only monetary but to the world itself. Much documentation is surfacing recently as to original ownership of this property be it nations or individuals. Of some interest was the attempts of various conquered people in western Europe who had more time to hide their treasures from the Germans. The entire collection of the Lourve in Paris was removed & hidden throughout France. The Allies who liberated Europe were not blameless as members of the military were able ro smuggle "spoils of war", home. Even the United States itself sent shiploads of art objects back to the states for "safekeeping". I trust that much of that will & is being returned to its rightful owners. Time is really no barrier with the technolgy we have today. Many of these works have already lasted 1,000 years. You know, that was how longer Hitler said the Third Reich would exist.DVD Review: Rape of Europa DVD about WWII art thefts from the Jews...
Summary: 4 Stars
Interesting DVD ~2 hours about how in WWII Nazies stole art treasurers from the Jews & the efforts to recover them.
Informative, well documented. Only complaint is that producer sometimes thinks is producing a music CD, & the background music hides the heavy accents of the speakers.
Amazon had much better price than direct sources.
