Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival, Museum of Tolerance with Villa Aurora/Thomas Mann House and Jewish Story Partners invite you to the Los Angeles premiere of
PLUNDERER: The Life and Times of a Nazi Art Thief
In-person on Sunday, June 29, at 7:00 PM
“It’s not every day that you meet an old Nazi.” So begins historian Jonathan Petropoulos, recalling the day in 1998 when he first met Bruno Lohse, Hermann Göring’s art agent in Paris during World War II. Once an obscure art dealer, Lohse rose to prominence in Göring’s inner circle, personally orchestrating history’s most infamous art theft ring for Hitler’s right-hand man.
Filmed over five years and in seven countries, the film unfolds as a detective story with Petropoulos detailing Lohse’s role in stealing countless masterpieces from Jews across Europe, and the web of postwar complicity that shielded the Nazi criminal from meaningful justice as families share their battle to recover their stolen Art.
Following the screening, join us for a Q&A with subject of the film, historian Jonathan Petropolis and Randy Schoenberg, subject of Woman in Gold and art restitution attorney.
