Will read/watch/listen to anything about Rose Valland. The Train, The Monuments Men, several good books. Extraordinary, ordinary woman. Thanks for the recommendation 😀
Carolina A. Miranda@cmonstah.bsky.social · yesterdayThe other day I was reading in @nybooks.com about Rose Valland, the Jeu de Paume curator who kept a detailed log of what the Nazis were doing with looted art.
