The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, And The Greatest Treasure Hunt In History

by Robert M. Edsel

He was eight years old, and he saw a picture of a mountain. There was snow on top, but in the valley below there were flowers. He didn’t have a way to find out why that was, so he started trying to figure it all out in his mind. The more he thought, the more complicated and wonderful life became. There were so many questions, he realized, that he would be busy trying to answer them for the rest of his life.

I shall be content to try to live each day within the limits of my conscience and let great plaudits go to those who are willing to pay the price for it.”7
