Authors! with Robert Edsel

What happens when you lose your freedom and the people who eventually get it back for you are no longer alive to thank?

The Toledo Lucas County Public Library welcomes author of Remember Us, Robert Edsel,  the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Monuments Men, opens in the pre-dawn hours of May 10, 1940 when Hitler’s forces rolled into the small rural province of Limburg in the Netherlands, shattering more than 100 years of peace. Their freedom gone, the Dutch lived through four-and-a-half years of occupation until September 1944, when American forces reached Limburg, the last portion of Western Europe liberated by the Allies before their advance on Nazi Germany slammed to a halt.
