In 2013, the German government confiscated roughly 1,300 works by Henri Matisse, George Grosz, Claude Monet, and other masters from the apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt, the reclusive son of one of Hitler's primary art dealers. For two years, the government kept the discovery a secret. In Hitler's Last Hostages, Mary M. Lane reveals the fate of those works and tells the definitive story of art in the Third Reich and Germany's ongoing struggle to right the wrongs of the past.

Suggest reading instead of listening to this excellent book.

The book is clearly well written and highly informative. I absolutely recommend it. However, the narrator, sadly the author, reads every sentence with great exaggeration. It sounds like an elementary school teacher reading to a class, over emphasizing multiple parts in the same sentence. This also lends an odd tone to such a serious subject matter. I wish they would’ve gotten a professional reader, for the book really is excellent! Mary M. Lane is an incredible researcher and writer, able to make a complex era intelligible.
