Requests:  0 Summary:  In 1939, curators at the Louvre nestled the world's most famous painting into a special red velvet-lined case and spirited her away to the Loire Valley. As the Germans neared Paris in 1940, the French raced to move the masterpieces again and again during the war. Throughout the German occupation, the Louvre's staff fought to keep the priceless treasures out of enemy hands, often risking their lives to protect the country's artistic heritage. This is their tale.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5344 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5344 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5344 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5344 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
