In the documentary "Plunderer: The Life and Times of a Nazi Art Thief," historian Jonathan Petropoulos delves into the dark world of art looting orchestrated by the Nazis, focusing on the life of German art dealer Bruno Lohse. The film, discussed by Petropoulos, producer John S. Friedman, and director Hugo Macgregor, uncovers the systematic theft of art during World War II and the subsequent challenges in tracing and recovering these stolen pieces. An important aspect of the documentary is its potential role in facilitating the return of looted art to its rightful owners, a process that remains a significant unresolved issue from the Holocaust era.
