Summary

On a June day in 1944, a Nazi agent entered a warehouse on the outskirts of Amsterdam. Inside he discovered the hidden art collection of a Jewish family. Among the paintings was a vivid seascape of children playing on a shore by the great German-Jewish impressionist Max Liebermann. The Nazi agent confiscated the painting, and its Jewish owners never saw it again. Today it hangs on the walls of a state museum in Munich. Stolen Masterpiece is the remarkable story of how it got there. Irrational hatred wasn't the only cause of the Holocaust; the looting of Jewish property was a powerful motive that has been largely unexplored. In this astonishing narrative, crowded with unscrupulous art dealers, thieves, and-in all likelihood-the Nazi who arrested Anne Frank, the greatest crime in human history is made real through the fate of one of its artifacts.
