Herbert von Karajan, a frequent visitor to occupied Paris, posed with the French soprano Germaine Lubin after conducting her in a Berlin Staatsoper production of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde at the Paris Opera in May 1941. (LAPI/Roger-Viollet)

Rose Valland, seen above in uniform after the war, was stationed throughout the occupation at the Jeu de Paume, where she kept a secret record of art looted from Jews. (Collection C. Garapont/Association la Mémoire de Rose Valland)

The paintings shown here were considered “degenerate” and were either destroyed or exchanged for pre-twentieth-century art. (Archives des Musées Nationaux)
