Movie Reviews of The Rape of Europa
Movie Review: A halocaust within a halocaust.
Summary: 4 Stars
While whole races of people were being killed, & world war raged, whole cultures from the millenium of these people were being destroyed. That is the subject of this outstanding documentary. It happened in eastern Europe by the Nazi & later the Soviets & to lesser extent in western Europe. Art objects & icons of civilizations were simply wantonly destroyed. Unless these criminals could enrich themselves simply by stealing what could be carried away. The Russian were complicent in this pillaging. Remember they were allies of the Nazis in the early years of World War II. Eastern Europe especially Poland was raped twice. Once by the Nazis & then by the advancing Russian Army as the Germans retreated later in the war. This discussion is not centered on the millions of people that were exterminated. You can never minimize that. But those people left behind art of exquisite beauty & value, not only monetary but to the world itself. Much documentation is surfacing recently as to original ownership of this property be it nations or individuals. Of some interest was the attempts of various conquered people in western Europe who had more time to hide their treasures from the Germans. The entire collection of the Lourve in Paris was removed & hidden throughout France. The Allies who liberated Europe were not blameless as members of the military were able ro smuggle "spoils of war", home. Even the United States itself sent shiploads of art objects back to the states for "safekeeping". I trust that much of that will & is being returned to its rightful owners. Time is really no barrier with the technolgy we have today. Many of these works have already lasted 1,000 years. You know, that was how longer Hitler said the Third Reich would exist.
