“Rose Valland loved art.” She loved it so much that her careful efforts would save a great number of treasured works from destruction by the Nazis. Rose found herself in the right place at the right time: She worked at the Jeu de Paume, a French museum that became the Nazis’ “dumping ground” for stolen art, the place from which it was shipped to other locations. The only employee allowed to stay on, quiet Rose was overlooked by the Nazis, who didn’t realize she spoke German in addition to her native French. Rose effectively became a spy. She “listened and took notes. Which art? What train? Where was it going? Who would save these treasures, if not Rose?” Determined to continue her courageous work, she continually persuaded the Nazis to allow her to remain at the museum, even as they became suspicious of her. As the war came to an end, Rose enlisted the aid of the French Resistance in locating a trainload of art that had been hurriedly moved from the Jeu de Paume. Though she could not save everything, her quick thinking led to the recovery of 148 crates of paintings; later still, her invaluable notes led to the return of tens of thousands of stolen works to their rightful owners. Warm, clear illustrations and a straightforward narrative make for an accessible, awe-inspiring portrait of a passionate and heroic woman.
