European sites, art tell tales of Monuments Men

This photo provided by The Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art of Dallas, shows Monuments Man James Rorimer, left, and Sgt. Antonio Valim examining valuable art objects at Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany which were stolen from the Rothschild collection in France by the ERR and found in the castle in May of 1945. Rorimer, a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art before the war who eventually became its director after returning, went on to achieve great success, helping to discover where works of art looted by the Nazis were tucked away across Europe. In the upcoming movie “The Monuments Men,” Matt Damon portrays a character inspired by the real-life Rorimer, who died in 1966 at the age of 60.
