“The Nazis stole hundreds of thousands of artworks. In what has been termed the greatest displacement of art in human history, the Nazis looted over 600,000 works of art. To this day, more than 100,000 of those works of art are not yet recovered. Let me repeat that. More than 100,000 works of art are still missing today. These weren't just paintings. They included manuscripts, diaries, family letters, personal papers that carried a people's history, identity and faith.” (01:55–02:02)
