The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland
My guest this week is Michelle Young, author of The Art Spy. During WWII, French museum curator Rose Valland risked her life to sabotage the Nazi art theft machine, secretly documenting their plunder and saving countless masterpieces. The book is thoroughly researched to not only verify the facts of Valland's work preserving art, but also to gain insights into Valland as a human being. In our interview, Young shared some of her insights into a largely overlooked but incredibly consequential hero of the French Resistance.
