The spy in the museum : how Rose Valland saved art from the Nazis / Cover Image Book

The spy in the museum : how Rose Valland saved art from the Nazis / Erin McGuire.

McGuire, Erin (author, illustrator).

Summary:

"Rose Valland loved art. When the Nazis invaded Paris during World War II and took over her beloved museum, Rose could have fled. But who would save the artwork? So, Rose remained and saw how she was underestimated by the soldiers for being a quiet, unassuming woman. She knew it was the time to act. And Rose had a secret weapon: she could speak German. She listened, kept track of all the stolen art, and saved what she could. Rose became a spy. And in the end, she saved thousands of works of art." -- Provided by publisher.
