May 8, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of V-E Day, the Allied victory in Europe over Nazi Germany. Stan’s guest this week is acclaimed author Robert Edsel, talking about his new book, Remember Us, the extraordinary story of the liberation of the Dutch people and the creation of the American Netherlands Cemetery. It is a riveting account of freedom, sacrifice, and eternal gratitude. Edsel is the author of The Monuments Men, and is recognized as one of the world’s foremost advocates for art preservation and the recovery of cultural treasures missing since World War II.
I heard him speak at The Mighty Eighth Museum. I bought the book. What an amazing story of sacrifice and gratitude.
