Ep. #3: Absolute Loss

Happy Sunday, Lovelies!

This week we explore the second part in my series about the impact of the art theft carried out by the Nazi's during WWI. We specifically explore the lives of Walter Westfeld and Max Silberberg, and the ways in which the restitution cases surrounding their stolen works mirror the discrimination they experienced during their lives. This episode is very intense emotionally and offers a lot to reflect upon. I hope you enjoy learning about these two incredible men's lives and that you take something away from hearing their stories. In talking about them, we will never truly forget what they experienced.
