Kurtz's discussion of cultural restitution during the last half-century underscores how war ravages and destroys humans as well as their artistic creations. -Choice Although other books on Nazi looting have been published in the last decade, none has the breadth of Kurtz's work. -Marilyn Henry, the author of Confronting the Perpetrators: The Jewish Claims Conference, CONGRESS MONTHLY While other current publications deal with the restitution of looted art objects, none do so from the vantage point of the American military government, and it is this more than anything else that makes Kurtz's volume such a contribution to the field. -Dana Herman, The American Jewish Archives Journal
