Most foreign media only focus to the fact that many "modern art"was collected and owned by Jews. It is neglected, in my opinion, that already from 1933 onwards the German museums were 'looted', apintings taken away (or hidden by museum in 'magazines').
All the 650 paintings of the "Degenerated Art Exhibition" came from 32 German museums. German museums from that time onwards weren't allowed to show paintings from the periods of expressionism, impressionism, Dadaism, Neue Sachlichkeit, surrealism, cubism and fauvism. George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Ernst, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Max Pechstein, Paul Klee, Otto Griebel or Ernst Barlach (only to name the Germans) were to be seen for first time since 1933 in the 1937/8 exhibition ... by three million visitors.

The 1937 exhibition was in so far a "highlight" because showed the major pieces of degenerated art which were shown from 1933 onwards (starting in Karlsruhe) in 32 German cities with objects from local/regional museums.
