Erin Moriarty of “48 Hours” takes us on a tour of the recreated Nazi "degenerate art" event at the Neue Galerie in New York City

During Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s, one of the many groups he targeted during his quest to remake the world in his image was modern artists.

Erin Moriarty of “48 Hours” takes us on a tour of the recreated event at the Neue Galerie in New York City.
