We all know about the horrible sequence of events during the Second World War and although the majority of the world population wasn’t born at that time, they know what had happened in many countries due to the terrible actions by the national socialists. We have all heard a lot about the Night of Broken Glass, the book burning, the censorship and oppression of the freedom of speech, etc. Art, an essential part of our society, had also been the victim of the Nazi regime, and not only in Germany, but also the art in the many other countries invaded by the Germany’s soldiers. The Louvre, one of the most important museums in the world, is putting on a unique exposition of photography about the dark parts of world history: The Louvre during the war – Photographs 1938-1947.
