Friday Interview: Celebrating the Monuments Men of WWII

RALEIGH — During World War II, the Nazis stole 22 million works of art. Those works included great masterpieces of European painting, sculpture, literature, and music. But a small group called Monuments Men worked to track down the stolen art and bring the thieves to justice. Thomas Thibeault has written a novel about the Monuments Men titled Balto’s Nose. He discussed the topic during a 2012 presentation for the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society. Thibeault also shared themes from the book in a conversation with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio.
