Join the Toronto Holocaust Museum, Toronto Jewish Film Foundation, and the Canadian Friends of Hebrew University for a special Holocaust Education Week screening of The Spoils (2024), a powerful new documentary that explores the complex struggle for the restitution of Nazi-looted art. The film reveals the complexities in the ongoing battle for justice in art ownership amidst the rise of the far right in Germany.
The film focuses on the story of German-Jewish art dealer Max Stern, who escaped Germany during the Second World War and settled in Montreal, becoming one of Canada’s leading art dealers. The Düsseldorf City Museum planned an exhibition in honour of Stern for 2018, but the exhibition did not go on view until 2021, delayed by discussions about art restitution and how the project was being handled. The Spoils highlights the challenges faced in honoring Stern’s legacy against the backdrop of a larger crisis in the art world.
Following the film, join us to learn more about the making of this documentary with director Jamie Kastner.
