- Summary:
- This is the unusual story of a beautiful and elegant woman, Maria Altmann, and her incredible courage and tenacity as she reclaimed 5 Klimt paintings from the Austrian government, which were stolen by the Nazis from her family. This David and Goliath tale takes her from the glittering world of fin-de-siecle Vienna through Nazi terror in Europe to Los Angeles and eventually to the United States Supreme Court. And after 60 years of state deception she won! Austria finally returned the paintings to Maria in 2006.
