This film looks at how stolen art “disappears” in a complicated practise designed to obscure facts and create wealth for the art market. How the true owners of these artworks, the descendants of Holocaust victims, are still fighting a system that stops at nothing to keep secrets and protect its wealthy clientele.

There are works in private collections and established museums right now, which were stolen by the Nazis.

I think, it’s about time they were returned.
