The Monuments Men: The fascinating adventure of the art warriors who prevented Nazi cultural looting. During World War II, a group of museum directors, curators, historians, and art professors risked their lives to prevent the destruction of European artistic heritage by the Nazis. These men and women, known as the Monuments Men, dedicated themselves to recovering, cataloging, and returning stolen works of art to their rightful place, as well as protecting historic buildings from the ravages of war. Their detective work and bravery personified the courage that allowed the best of humanity to defeat the worst.
