mary lanes book "hitler's last hostages" explores the many ways in which for hitler also the deliberate destruction and looting of art was a key strategy. hitler wanted to control not only what the germans thought to what they saw. he wanted to limit creativity to arians alone. lanes book tells the stories, she told stories of artists who courageously fought against hitler's proclamation risking lives to create art and the story of more cowardly artist who saw it as hard as they could weather about hating jews or the proper use of canvas and paint. she tells him throwing stories about the victims of nazi art confiscations and the machinations of profiteers who sold the confiscated art outside germany Ãbwe are fortunate tonight to hear a few of the stories.mary, the book concentrates around one in the news story. when did you first hear this story? >> 4:00 a.m. november 2013 i was actually here in manhattan as the chief europeanan editor that about 1300 works had been found in the apartment of a recluse whose father who had been a dealer for the nazis. and i needed to book a plane and c

hitler knew how to schmooze. hitler knew how to treat older people. chamberlain -- hitler ran down the steps and said you're older than i am. i should have come to see you. i'm so sor -- i mean, we knew how to bplay it. so, lloyd george says whatever one may think of the methods, and they're not the methods of a parliamentary country, there can be no doubt he has achieved the marvelous transformation in the spirit of the people, in the attitude toward each other, and their social and economic outlook. and later he says the germans who resist to the death every invader of their own country but they have no longer the desire themselves to invade any other land. this is 1936. they've broken the military causes of versailles. they have introduced the nuremberg racial laws in 1936. the prisons and concentration camps are full of political appointments, and people are running to lead germany who are not capable or willing to be part of a national socialist state. they intervene in the reinland in 1936 and send tanks and planes and soldiers to spain. is this

the day hitler marches in, she becomes an enemy alien. if she stays in france, she will end up in a concentration camp. so she flees, via spain, gibraltar, she gets to london where her brother is already working with the secret agency, hence her name to the recruiter. for her it is a very common sense decision. why wouldn't i do everything to save france? i mean, duh, like, there's no balance to it for her. she parachutes in, and she is the very second female paratrooper ever in history, but -- and this is the thing that kind of captured imagination about this story. she was commanding troops in normandy on d-day and we don't know about her. there were soldiers under her command answering to her orders, when the allies arrived. she was second in command in the french resistance behind enemy lines on the most important day of the 20th century and you haven't heard her name. she was second female paratrooper ever. very first female paratrooper has an even more interesting story. she was 22. she was the very first female combat paratrooper.

first by hitler, and then by stalin. it squatted, the war did, and poland for the next five years, in its worst imaginable form. ss death camps, gestapo police, mass murders at war with each other on both sides of the nation. mass murder in poland's cities and all around. it took five years of colossal effort and sacrifice to get to the tipping point summer of 1944. five years of fighting and suffering and death, in africa and southeast asia. in china, in the philippines, in the philippines, in the baltic and the balkans, on and under all of the oceans, in the lethal skies overhead. the price was so high that words lose meaning, numbers lose meaning, even death loses much of its meaning. we are here trying to comprehend and we will all fail. the western allies, and this place commemorates, broke through the outer wall hitler's fortress europe in a truly complex and heroic endeavor. but i remind you, it was also a multinational one. americans assaulted just two of the five d-day beaches. in the first 20 minutes of saving

let's leave hitler alone, he will leave us alone. there are folks said when did hitler leave anybody alone if he had the chance to invade them. no, we need a hero that's going to express the need to fight hitler. there was a concern because hitler was a dictator that might get killed at any time, that by the time the comic book hit the stands that hitler might already be dead. and they thought well, that might not be the worst outcome. let's put the comic out anyway, whether he is alive or dead when it hits the stands. if you look at the captain america movie again, and there's a lot of comics sold of him punching hitler in the face, what the movies did is come up with a fictional in plot reason why this image became so popular. action comics number one, he does lift up a car, smack it against a cliff. in captain america, it is like well, he couldn't have gotten that close to hitler, otherwise the war would already be over with. what they did is say this is a preparational cover and the movie makers came up with a real reason that in

the paradox of chamberlain and hitler is the people who got hitler right were the ones that never met him. the people that got him wrong were the ones that did spend time with him. i'm curious how we could be led astray by face to face encounters. he should have stayed home and read "meine kamp." the problem with going to visit him is not that you can't gather information from a face to face encounter, but when you meet a miss mir rising and charismatic man, you discount the really useful hard evidence about the man's stated intentions and previous behavior, right? people like churchill back home at england, churchill never met hitler. the only western leader to meet hitler, well, the french leader did, was william mckenzie king, the canadian prime minister who met him and loved him. he loved him. not a good idea to meet hitler. >> but let me ask a question about particular chamberlain because you do talk about this a little bit, which is was it also that he wanted to trust him? people forget about chamberlain this was a point at which world war i had just happened 15 years ago. europ

the united states. >> hitler was everyone meeting with the leaders of the eugenics movement. >> hitler said the on the money from him. >> as hitler's ambitions became clear, americans saw the terrifying consequences of white supremacy. most pulled back from the edge. eugenics died out in america. of course hitler's plans did not. >> that idea of improving the human race which is what eugenics is all about definitely had echo in nazi policy of the 1930s and the holocaust is one horrific consequence of that. >> black lives matter! >> white supremacy of today has not reached the level it did a century ago, but some of its deeply troubling ideas are returning. >> you don't think all races are equal. >> no, i do not. i don't see why anyone would. >> the white nationalist jared taylor is a learned man, a graduate of yale like myself. but we didn't see eye to eye to say the least. >> i want the people of africa to make africa the best they can for africans. and africans i believe will be happiest not living in society like ours. >> i think that you place so much weight on the fact that certai

we need a hero that is going to express the need to fight hitler . there was a concern because hitler was is a dictator that could be killed at any time. by the time the comic book a hip the stands, the hitler might already be dead. they thought that my might not be the worst outcome. was put the comic out anyway, whether he's dead or alive by the time he hits the stands. if you look at the captain america movie again, there's a lot of comics with hitler being punched in the face. they came up with the fictional comic book universe why this image became so popular. in action comics he does a lift of a car and slammed against a cliff. well they said he couldn't of gotten that close to hitler or the war would be over. what they did was say this is a representational cover and they came up with the real reason that inspired it. deservedly see that? let's look at capt. america's cover. they were pieces of propaganda. when you went to the new stanton by comics, the cover was the most important thing because it's the first thing that catches your eye. they

this imaginary friend who is a version of adult sort of a boyhood childish version of a goofy adult hitler and then the boy himself comes into conflict because he discovers that his mother is actually hiding a jewish girl in their house at the time and so he has to make this issue of whether to turn the girl in and be loyal to his doxie beliefs or or do the right thing a very interesting movie it could have really gone horribly wrong i have to say the the the premise is so problematic but the director here the new zealand director. he also plays hitler actually in the clip that we just saw he gets the balance just right he's an interesting guy he's both bowery and jewish heritage and he gets the balance between the humor and the whore exactly right this film remind me a lot of life is beautiful another story that found comedy in the horrors of the 2nd world war and i think it's really an amazing. feat that what he as a man has managed here and could be maybe the final for the 1st film to actually get even germans to laugh at him like ok now another black comedy. believe this is a whodunit

he he also plays hitler actually in the clip that we just saw he gets the balance just right he's an interesting guy both bowery and jewish heritage and he gets the balance between the humor and the whore exactly right this film remind me a lot of life is beautiful another story that found comedy in the horrors of the 2nd world war and i think it's really an amazing. feat that what he as a man has managed here and could be maybe the final for the 1st film to actually get even germans to laugh at him ok now another black hole but the old how do. i believe this is a whodunit with a difference. yeah this is an interest in film of it's from ryan johnson whose last movie was the last of the last star wars movie so i wasn't really knowing what to expect from him when he did just a whodunit the film is set up like sort of one of those classic i think christie adaptations you know star studded whodunit here you've got daniel craig jamie lee curtis michael shannon all these these these amazing actors packed into this room in one of the beds a bed and then a guy with a foreign name and a weird

at all for hitler understood how bold design and imagery could motivate and convince people so he used its power to help fulfill his racist ambitions and create a nazi state that killed millions of people mainly jews in world war 2. this exhibition in den boss in the netherlands examines how nazis use design for propaganda hitler understood that that's what the guy had to be used for his party and i wanted to be a powerful modern logo hitler came to power in 19336 years later germany invaded poland triggering world war 2 arts and design had helped feel nationalist anti jewish sentiment images recalled a romanticized past military uniforms was sharply tailored to promote fear the museum's director knows there showcasing the a statics of a deadly regime is controversial but he says it's important to take a critical look at history we are accustomed to present all these iron ore are what we consider good but we all know there is all also stuff and we make that's that's not good ethical sense what's bad what's the fore. and while we decided to research it while it was possible we have to f

a research on propaganda is while let me correct one very common mistake propaganda is not a little hitler screaming and moving his hand cetera propagandists on. very clever and very often it uses basically a platform which other people agree on and then use it through its own twists it's all its own perspective fully agree with the vigor with the big gun supporters fully agree with the animal rights supporters but it is the horten debate the issue to see. whose death is quicker. historically for millennia jews have been more merciful towards animals that eat. the it has to be fully healthy. vigen animal that is before lamb. has to be. injured and the this is the fact is that kosher products meat products are expending so quickly because it is much healthier and better and better treated than any other definitely wark or anything rather just want to interrupt you there and i just want to give a church together response pod you took you out this from the many from the vegan society run say that you know the jewish community. well in how they produce kosher food how do you respond to that. w

and the collaboration between stalin hitler after the pact i mean that there's a very good case to be made for in terms of real politic for the pact itself the 23rd of august that's my perception is that there's a much much much more complex argument when you consider what happened after the pattern of the intense collaboration that was between the soviet union germany and the aftermath of the nazis of impact in one minute before we go to the break here i mean. geoffrey makes a very good point here in a it's often tale of my point is that you just cherry pick what is self-serving in the present and that's exactly what we're seeing and how the the landing at normandy be the end of the war in berlin where you were day you celebrated on this it all politically motivated 20 seconds before we go to break absolutely and can i just come back to point dimitri babich makes yes there are many people in poland with diverse opinions if you truly one interpretation of the events of august 19th $39.00 is the correct $1.00 and $1.00 you are not only distorting the development of russian and polish h

the soviet union was essentially as responsible for starting the war as nazi germany. 80 years ago hitler invaded poland and triggered the 2nd world war. as poles defended their country gives the nazi all sorts soviet forces attack them from the east trapping poland between the hammer of the schizm and the angle of communism and the statement didn't go unnoticed by the russian embassy in london diplomats noted it was absolutely unacceptable to equate the actions of the soviet union with hitler's aggression embassy also expressed regret the soviet british alliance during world war 2 and their joint actions against nazi germany seem to be forgotten by the prime minister the most prominent cases of soviet british cooperation during world war 2 with the arctic convoys these operations saw british vessels deliver essential supplies to the north of soviet russia braving heavy bombardment by the nazis britain lost scores of both merchant navy vessels with more than $3000.00 casualties historian and author michael jones told us earlier that johnson's comment is an insult to all world war 2 vetera

it was hitler's war and that's that's where everyone can unite around he is being anti. in and then turning america's presence there actually confirms that ideally the sins of the past germany are now on a course like 10 years ago when you had to 75 out of the 3 there was a similar ceremony in poland was that that was i decided that he made some very critical remarks about the nazi at the masses but of course the political situation has changed since 2001 that you have a you have a different polish government and you have a different a different a different context but you know the war should be. a focus for unity across europe not a matter of division it's a merit division because of political choices to make political leaders in different countries you know i think the fact that the war now is division and not uniting it was something about our times because even in the sixty's and the seventy's that situation was very different and the president in his interview today bill you know that german newspaper when asked about it could. silly asian with germany he said that

exactly what hitler did when he went to paris. it's the photograph most people go -- you can find this pretty quickly. you could do side-by-side of your picture there next to hitler. he did the tourist thing. that was the only time he went to paris. the sort of conquering hero and then went back to germany. good question. if anybody has other questions, i will stick around for a little bit. thank you again for your continual support coming out tonight. have a good rest of the week.

he stayed loyal to the party which is close to hitler's nazi party so i don't you know he isn't so one shots and a step you should get that protest is now also mounting in berlin. as it's going. nation i'm justified yesterday there was a 1st special meeting of the committee and has a few in the us is that he has a game is to apply for revoke haitian of the election of that candidate be implemented and put another candidate and his place and then we will have to discuss how something like this could have happened and put tie into and other bits of the visit us president clinton to replace the local council with 1st need to find another candidate for the job. an unprecedented communication shut down in indian administered kashmir means that reporters there are struggling to do their jobs more than a month off to india suspended the region's autonomy there without internet phone lines or a mobile phone service and face a number of restrictions well the correspondent nimish travelled to srinagar in india administered kashmir found many kashmiris were left without access to a reliable news

commemorations take place in the town of unity to mark the moment hitler's forces carried out a bombing raid that left more than a 1000 people dead and launched history's deadliest conflict also coming up. after a night of clashes with police in hong kong protesters plan to block access to the airport as pro-democracy demonstrations continue for a 13th consecutive weekend. i'm michael o'connor thanks for joining us on september 1st 1939 germany invaded poland the date is regarded as the beginning of the 2nd world war in the early hours of the morning a german warship opened fire on the polish garrison on the vesta plot the peninsula in what was then the free city of dunn sick at about the same time bombs rained down on the small polish town a view in killing 1200 civilians it was the german 1st air raid on poland and the 1st of many war crimes to come ceremonies have been taking place in viola marking the moment 80 years ago when history's deadliest conflict began. 4 35 am indeed. those sirens are the same as the ones that sounded 80 years ago announcing the bombing of the town by nazi

iraq's fresh from seeing the movie jo-jo rabbit now this is a black comedy about a young boy in the hitler youth who has an imaginary friend in the fall i had to 1st let's see scott just let's see a quick short clip. joe joe my old friend. what's called it and then they call me a scanned rabbit people used to say a lot of nasty things about me. hi scott now scott that's sounds quite surreal you've seen it all. yeah that's real is actually not a bad word for this this is is a quite unusual film has a weird pitch lied it is a story about a young german boy who idolize the nazis set close to the end of the 2nd world war and then he has this imaginary fred who is a version of adult sort of a boyhood childish version of sort of a goofy adult hitler and then the boy himself comes into conflict because he discovers that his mother is actually hiding a jewish girl in their house at the time and so he has to make this issue of whether to turn the girl in and be loyal to his doxie beliefs or or do the right thing a very interesting movie it could have really gone horribly wrong i have to say the pre

germany and head to the soviet union there was only one threat to european peace and 939 and that was hitler from 1000 flicks you were on through to 945 the soviet union's role was the most important rule of course there was no alliance between the soviet union the united kingdom and of course the united states that overall those contras it was the soviet union that made the greatest sacrifice and we're talking about 27000000 and broke the back of the german war machine and then that big picture these comments all very much and then felt to those who gave their lives fighting and common cause against fascism. that's a global news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not you know harvey will be taking over in about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in wherever you may be. i thought wrong. or all right. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confronted he shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time
