Preview | Plunderer: The Life and Times of a Nazi Art Thief (Part Two)

Season 22 Episode 6 | 32s

Historian Jonathan Petropoulos investigates former Nazi art dealer Bruno Lohse’s role in post-war America. Lohse established relationships with curators at some of the nation’s most important cultural institutions and became an invisible hand, dealing in looted art – even as the families of the original owners pursued the restitution of works rightfully theirs.

SECRETS OF THE DEAD is made possible, in part, by public television viewers.
