Description
The Orpheus Clock: The Search for My Family's Art Treasures Stolen by the Nazis The story of the Gutmann family's art collection, stolen by the Nazis in World War II, is a fascinating and tragic tale of loss and redemption. Simon Goodman's grandparents, members of a powerful German-Jewish banking dynasty, had amassed a world-class collection of art, including works by Degas, Renoir, and Botticelli. But when the Nazi regime seized everything they had built, the family's legacy was left in ruins. With painstaking detective work across two continents, Simon has been able to uncover the truth about his family's stolen art and successfully secure its return. This is not only the account of a twenty-year detective hunt for family treasure, but an unforgettable tale of redemption and restoration.
