520    The legendary names include Rothschild, Mendelssohn, Bloch
       -Bauer—distinguished bankers, industrialists, diplomats, 
       and art collectors. Their diverse taste ranged from 
       manuscripts and musical instrushy;ments to paintings by 
       Old Masters and the avant-garde. But their stigma as Jews 
       in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe doomed them to exile 
       or death in Hitler’s concentration camps. Here, after 
       years of meticulous research, Melissa Müller (Anne Frank: 
       The Biography) and Monika Tatzkow (Nazi Looted Art) 
       present the tragic, compelling stories of 15 Jewish 
       collectors, the dispersal of their extraordinary 
       collections through forced sale and/or confiscation, and 
       the ongoing efforts of their heirs to recover their 
       inheritance. For every victory in the effort to return 
       these works to their rightful heirs, there are daunting 
       defeats and long court battles. This real-life legal 
       thriller follows works by Rembrandt, Klimt, Pissarro, 
       Kandinsky, and others.
