The Monuments Men

The first time I read this I actually didn't finish it. I struggled with the shifting timelines. Today, it wasn't as much of an issue, probably because I had time to follow the people rather than the timeline. I also think my short time in west Germany allowed me to better connect with the story and the places. And I'm glad I got to the end this time, or else I'd never know that 2 places near my current home will be on my to-do list and when I get there, I'll have more appreciation because of this book.

I love to volunteer at the Library of Congress and the National Archives, transcribing handwritten notes. I'll be adding the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives to my search criteria when I”m looking for a project.
