Artworks and War: Europe, Washington and Virginia

Fri. March 28th, 2008 10:00 AM

It was one of our finest hours. In World War II, every artwork in Europe was endangered. The Allies, led by David Finley in Washington and the American Army's Monuments Men -- many trained in Charlottesville -- heroically saved most of the artworks.

Sponsored by We the People Initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
