Summary/Abstract: Buomberger, Thomas. Umeni loupeze-loupez umeni: Svycarsko a obchod s ukradenymi kulturnimi statky v dobe druhe svetove valky. Prague: BB Art, 2003, 414 pp. Translated from the German by Bruno Cempirek. This Czech translation of Raubkunst, Kunstraub: Die Schweiz und der Handel mitgestoh-lenen Kulturgiltem zurZeit des Zweiten Weltkriegs (Zurich, 1998) by the Swiss historian and documentary maker Thomas Buomberger maps out the role of Switzerland as a land where trade flourished in art stolen by the Germans in the occupied countries during the Second World War. It focuses on several key figures in these transactions, demonstrates their collaboration with leading Nazis, and points to the unwillingness of the Swiss authorities after the war to return artworks to their original owners by arguing that they had been bonafide purchases.
