Indie film alert \’96 The Rape of Europa

By Glenny Brock

The Levite Jewish Community Center continues its ArtHouse Film series tonight, Tuesday, Nov. 11, with a screening of The Rape of Europa. The documentary, narrated by Joan Allen, chronicles 12 years of the Nazis’ pillaging works of art throughout Europe and the international effort to locate, protect and return millions of valuable treasures. The film traces the story of art lovers and everyday heroes who tried to thwart the looting Nazis and reveals how experts from Europe and the United States are working to recover priceless works of art missing or hidden for decades.\
\
The movie starts at 7 p.m. The suggested donation of $5 gets you popcorn and soda and helps to fund future screenings in the LJCC ArtHouse film series. Get more details at (205) 879-0411 or www.bhamjcc.org.\
