A recent article suggests that there is new research showing Ukraine’s huge cultural losses during World War II. They claim that a large quantity of valuables was looted during the war. As much as 250,000 pieces of art was looted from 21 museums in the Ukranine by the Nazis.
Looting of art during times of war is not new or infrequent.. Recently in 2003, the loss of cultural valuables was noted in Iraq. A book entitled, The Looting of the Iraq Museum, Baghadad—The Lost Legacy of Ancient Mesopotamia, records this occurrence. This book was written by several archaeologists who spent years studying the history of Mesopotamia and collecting their finds. The book states that the looting of archaeological sites throughout Iran continues.
