Description: Exploring the decades-long effort to recover masterpieces stolen from Jewish families during the Holocaust, career prosecutor and granddaughter of survivors, Adena Bernstein uncovers the hidden world of art looted during the Nazi era. She blends legal analysis, investigative reporting and personal stories to reveal how museums, governments and heirs confront the complex questions of ownership, justice and memory long after the war. Bernstein’s book reveals that the fight to recover stolen art is ultimately a fight to reclaim history, justice and the dignity of those the Holocaust sought to erase.

In an era shaped by viral slogans and curated outrage, Judge Altman offers a disciplined method for discerning truth from propaganda.
