The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War
- 1994 NBCC–Nonfiction winner
- Score: 10.44
The cast of characters includes Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering, Gertrude Stein and Marc Chagall—not to mention works by artists from da Vinci to Picasso. And the story told in this superbly researched and at times suspenseful book is that of the Third Reich’s war on European culture and the Allies’ desperate effort to preserve it.
