520    "The world was stunned when eighty-year old Cornelius 
       Gurlitt became an international media superstar in 
       November 2013 on the discovery of over 1,400 artworks in 
       his 1,076 square-foot Munich apartment, valued at around 
       $1.35 billion. Gurlitt became known as a man who never was
       - he didn't have a bank account, never paid tax, never 
       received social security. He simply did not exist. He had 
       been hard-wired into a life of shadows and secrecy by his 
       own father long before he had inherited his art collection
       built on the spoliation of museums and Jews during 
       Hitler's Third Reich. The ensuing media frenzy unleashed 
       international calls for restitution, unsettled 
       international relations, and rocked the art world. Ronald 
       reveals in this stranger-than-fiction-tale how Hildebrand 
       Gurlitt succeeded in looting in the name of the Third 
       Reich, duping the Monuments Men and the Nazis alike. As an
       "official dealer" for Hitler and Goebbels, Hildebrand 
       Gurlitt became one of the Third Reich's most prolific art 
       looters.  Yet he stole from Hitler too, allegedly to save 
       modern art. This is the untold story of Hildebrand Gurlitt,
       who stole more than art-he stole lives, too"--|cProvided
