The Spy at the Louvre Rose Valland and the Nazi Art Plunder

She looked like a museum clerk.

She was actually the most dangerous witness in Nazi-occupied Paris.

At the Louvre Museum, while German officers packed away masterpieces by the truckload, Rose Valland quietly took notes - notes that could have cost her life.

The Nazis believed she didnt understand their language.
They were wrong.

For four years, Valland secretly recorded the destinations of stolen paintings, the names of corrupt dealers, and the routes of art-filled trains heading into the heart of the Third Reich. When Paris was liberated, her hidden records became the key to recovering thousands of looted treasures.

The Spy at the Louvre is a true story of espionage, resistance, stolen art, and one womans extraordinary bravery inside Hitlers cultural war machine.
