This astonishing and timely documentary tells the epic story of the systematic theft, deliberate destruction by the Third Reich and miraculous survival of Europe's art treasures, beginning with Gustav Klimt's 1907 portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer recently sold to Ronald Lauder for a staggering $135 million, the highest price ever paid for a work of art. Five years in the making, The Rape of Europa features never-before-seen footage and photos — the result of exhaustive research of historical, official and artistic records in Poland, France, Italy, Germany, Russia and the US.
