Nazi art treasure trove valued at £1BILLION is found in shabby Munich apartment

Interesting...

Happened in 2011, and they have been looking for the rightful owners for 2 years...

I will never understand how someone can pay millions for a book or a picture.
It's totally rediculous.
We should not care about the junk from already rotten corpses.
Redicule, redicule, redicule.

What if it was a diary of a very important historical character that could shed some truth in a shady historical matter, don't you think such kind of a book would be worth a fortune?

As far as I know any book that is worth a very large sum are rare books with hundreds sometimes thousands of years.

Some of the works were declared as degenerate by the Nazis, while others were stolen from or forcibly sold for a pittance by Jewish art collectors.
If confirmed, it would be one of the largest recoveries of looted art.

The Nazis categorised almost all modern art as "degenerate". It was banned for being un-German or for being the work of Jewish artists

Paul Rosenberg, an art dealer who represented Picasso as well as Matisse, was forced to leave his collection behind when he fled Germany in the 1930s.
The US Holocaust Memorial Museum estimates the Nazis seized about 16,000 works of art in all.

What is strange is that they didnt destroy them bit stored them.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Hitler had grand plans to build the largest art museum and library in the world. The "bad" art was Jewish and modern. That's why most of it wasn't destroyed.

Great find OP!!

you mean that he would include the bad art in his grand museum?!

more than just 'interesting'
This is the find of the century!!!

you dont need to understand it, only accept that people are willing to pay millions for it, even if you personally are not.

Yes. As example and or *evidence*.

Hopefully enough to restart the Nazi Party.
They had some very interesting ideas.....




THEN we will have world peace.
