- Summary:
- A detailed study on nazi plunder from organized looting of European countries sold after the fall of the Third Reich in South American countries, particularly Argentina and the role played by suspected individuals, dealers, auctioneers, experts and museum curators. "Without discussion, this is the best book that has been prepared in Latin America to understand the passage of time of Nazism and its connection with works of art, a contribution that will generate controversy and I hope it serves to awaken attention among those responsible and does not continue with the intentional impunity in this case. There is no justification for what has happened or to continue with that path within a system of silenced complicities. This is journalistic investigation, unpublished in the continent precisely because its bases are academic, which affirms suspicions based precisely on extremely suspicious facts." (HKB Translation) -Page 17.
