The Rape of Europa is a documentary based on the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning book by Lynn H. Nicholas. The film tells the epic story of the systematic theft, deliberate destruction, and miraculous survival of Europe 's art treasures during the Third Reich and Second World War. The film interweaves the history of Nazi art looting with the stories of contemporary restitution cases. It also tells the dramatic story of the unprecedented heroic efforts of the US Monuments Men who were sent to Europe to safeguard and return displaced art at the end of the war.
