Connie and William begin the interview discussing how he came to begin researching and writing the book, and what it means to loot and recover property in art, particularly in the case of Germany and World War II. They proceed to talk about the booty and where it’s located in the United States before considering the individuals in the book and how they were indicted for trafficking in stolen property, and the personal as well as legal perils they face in confronting their actions. Connie and William move on to discuss how the topic of the story first appeared in the New York Times, and how William pursued the story, before reflecting on the morality and ethics of taking property. Connie closes the interview requesting an autograph for her copy of the book.
