 oung..\nhttps://cuyahoga.libnet.info/event/15992345
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p style="text-align: justify\;">A saga set i
 n Paris during World War II uncovers how an unlikely heroine infiltrated t
 he Nazi leadership to save the world's most treasured masterpieces.</p>\n<
 p style="text-align: justify\;"><strong>On August 25\, 1944\, Rose Valland
 </strong> found herself in a desperate position.&nbsp\; From the windows o
 f her beloved <strong>Jeu de Paume Museum</strong>\, she watched the battl
 e to liberate Paris thundering around her.&nbsp\; Would the curator be kil
 led before she could tell the truth--a story that could change history?</p
 >\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">Drawn from troves of recently uncovere
 d documents\, <em><strong>The Art Spy</strong></em> chronicles the vallian
 t actions of <strong>this key Resistance spy</strong> during the heart of 
 the Nazis' art-looting operation in Paris.&nbsp\; As the war devastated Eu
 rope and Hitler amassed stolen art for his planned Fuhrermuseum\, Valland 
 quietly undermined his henchmen at every turn:&nbsp\; she deceived Reichsm
 arschall Herman Goring\, passed critical information to the Resistance net
 work\, put herself in harm's way to protect the museum and her staff\, and
  faced death in the final hours of Liberation Day.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p style="t
 ext-align: justify\;">Vivid and atmospheric\, <em><strong>The Art Spy</str
 ong></em> moves from the glittering days of prewar Paris\, populated by <s
 trong>Pablo Picasso\, Josephine Baker\, Coco Chanel</strong>\, and <strong
 >Frida Kahlo</strong>\, to the harrowing years of the Nazi occupation\, th
 e battlefields of France\, and the Resistance efforts of everyday Parisian
 s like Valland.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">Copies of <em
 ><strong>The Art Spy:&nbsp\; The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resista
 nce Hero Rose Valland</strong></em>\, by Michelle Young\, will be availabl
 e at the <strong>Richmond Heights Branch Reference Desk.</strong></p>\nhtt
