“战争曾经摧毁了我们的一切,只留下惨痛的记忆和历史,第二次世界大战留给我们的这些更是难以算记,它摧毁了人类的文明和梦想,还有那些数不清历代艺术珍品。” 本片是反映二战时期西方艺术作品惨遭破坏的纪录片,影片以详实的影像资料再现了纳粹对人类艺术精品的破坏,揭露了战争罪恶及破坏的本质。THE RAPE OF EUROPA takes the audience on a journey through seven countries telling a story of greed and warfare that threatened the artistic heritage of Europe. For twelve years, the Nazis looted and destroyed art. Young art historians and curators from America and across Europe fought back, mounting a campaign to rescue and return countless art works displaced by the war. Joan Allen narrates this chronicle about the battle over centuries of western culture.
