På direkt order från Hitler sändes specialtränade trupper ut över Europa för att plundra. De allra främsta verken skulle visas på Hitlers planerade Führermuseum. Efter kriget återfanns mycket av konsten, men över hundratusen verk försvann “Milhões de livros esquecidos de milhões de vidas perdidas” Quando decidiu seguir o rastro dos saqueadores de livros do período nazista, o jornalista sueco Anders Rydell lançou- -se numa jornada de milhares de quilômetros pela Europa. Seu intuito era compreender os fatos que levaram a essa ação tão cruel e descobrir o que ainda existe de tudo o que se perdeu durante a Segunda Guerra. “Milhões de livros esquecidos de milhões de vidas perdidas”, foi o que constatou o autor após percorrer as mais remotas bibliotecas do continente. Mas o que de fato desejavam os soldados de Hitler com a pilhagem de livros pertencentes a judeus, comunistas, políticos liberais, maçons, católicos e tantos outros grupos de oposição? Como esse crime literário sem precedentes na história contribuiu para o aniquilamento cultural dos povos perseguidos pelo nazismo? Ladrões de livros – A história real de como os nazistas roubaram milhões de livros durante a Segunda Guerra relata em detalhes os saques efetuados em bibliotecas, livrarias e acervos pessoais no período nazista e mostra, ainda, como um pequeno time de bibliotecários trabalha heroicamente para tentar devolver esses exemplares às vítimas do Holocausto e suas famílias. Uma narrativa emocionante que revela o que um único livro pode representar para quem perdeu tudo no conflito mais sangrento da história. It is obvious how much research has gone into this book and how important it is for the world to know about the records that exist concerning stolen books from WWll. However, I was disappointed that this book was short on personal stories. It reads a bit dry with an emphasis on historical accuracy at the expense of being interesting. It as very informative, but the chapters were very repetitive: the Nazis went here and took this amazing collection of books and documents, and then they went here and did a very similar thing. The most interesting thing was learning about how the Nazis were using these materials to build their propaganda. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML:"A most valuable book." ??Christian Science Monitor For readers of The Monuments Men and The Hare with Amber Eyes, the story of the Nazis' systematic pillaging of Europe's libraries, and the small team of heroic librarians now working to return the stolen books to their rightful owners. While the Nazi party was being condemned by much of the world for burning books, they were already hard at work perpetrating an even greater literary crime. Through extensive new research that included records saved by the Monuments Men themselves??Anders Rydell tells the untold story of Nazi book theft, as he himself joins the effort to return the stolen books. When the Nazi soldiers ransacked Europe??s libraries and bookshops, large and small, the books they stole were not burned. Instead, the Nazis began to compile a library of their own that they could use to wage an intellectual war on literature and history. In this secret war, the libraries of Jews, Communists, Liberal politicians, LGBT activists, Catholics, Freemasons, and many other opposition groups were appropriated for Nazi research, and used as an intellectual weapon against their owners. But when the war was over, most of the books were never returned. Instead many found their way into the public library system, where they remain to this day. Now, Rydell finds himself entrusted with one of these stolen volumes, setting out to return it to its rightful owner. It was passed to him by the small team of heroic librarians who have begun the monumental task of combing through Berlin??s public libraries to identify the looted books and reunite them with the families of their original owners. For those who lost relatives in the Holocaust, these books are often the only remaining possession of their relatives they have ever held. And as Rydell travels to return the volume he was given, he shows just how much a single book can mean to those Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
