Don’t miss the feature documentary, RAPE OF EUROPA
October 13, 2008 – 1:00 pm“The Rape of Europa” uses interviews with eyewitnesses and historians and newsreel footage to show how heroic
Europeans, Russians, and Americans worked to save the art of Europe during WWII.
THE RAPE OF EUROPA is a feature documentary that takes the audience on an epic journey through seven countries and into a violent whirlwind of fanaticism, greed, and warfare that threatened to wipe out the artistic heritage of Europe. For twelve long years, the Nazis looted and destroyed art on a scale unprecedented in history. But heroic young art historians and curators from America and across Europe fought back, mounting a miraculous campaign that would rescue and return the millions of art works displaced by the war. Joan Allen narrates this chronicle about the battle over the very survival of centuries of western culture. [Written by Actual Films.]
