SOUTHWEST HARBOR—Join us on Monday, August 24 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for a talk on Plunder and Survival: Stories of Theft, Loss, Recovery, and Migration of Nazi-Uprooted Art with author Suzanne Loebl. The program is in-person and online. Registration appreciated. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Interviewed by Naomi Gordon-Loebl, her granddaughter, Loebl will tell the story of the Nazi looting of art in World War II Europe by looking at the human side. She will explore the stories of the people who lost the art, those who stole and monetized it for Hitler, and those who helped save it. With a particular focus on art that escaped to America, Plunder & Survival includes biographies, photographs, and capsule histories of approximately 100 works of looted art that can be seen in museums throughout the United States.
