Summary
A charged biography of a notorious Nazi art plunderer and his career in the postwar art world.
Bruno Lohse (1911-2007) was one of the most notorious art plunderers in history. Appointed by Hermann Göring to Hitler's special art-looting agency, he went on to supervise the systematic theft and distribution of more than 22,000 artworks, largely from French Jews; helped Göring develop an enormous private art collection; and staged 20 private exhibitions of stolen art in Paris's Jeu de Paume museum during the war. By the 1950s Lohse was officially denazified but back in the art-dealing world, offering looted masterpieces to American museums. After his death, dozens of paintings by Renoir, Monet, and Pissarro, among others, were found in his Zurich bank vault and adorning the walls of his Munich home.
Jonathan Petropoulos spent nearly a decade interviewing Lohse and continues to serve as an expert witness for Holocaust restitution cases. Here he tells the story of Lohse's life, offering a critical examination of the postwar art world.

Narration without pronunciation
Why would you get a voice actor to read a book filled with French and German people, places, and words when they cannot correctly pronounce any of them?
The flow is totally ruined by awful, awful pronunciations. It shouldn't be too high a bar to have an audiobook read by someone who can actually pronounce what is in the book.
