WATCH Monuments Man Harry Ettlinger InterviewHarry Ettlinger, born in Karlsruhe,
Germany on January 28, 1926, fled to the
U.S. with his family in 1938, the day
after his Bar Mitzvah. They settled in
Newark, N.J., and six years later Harry
was drafted by the Army and returned to
Europe, where his fluency in German
allowed him to volunteer to help the
Monuments Men. In this interview, he talks
about Nazi plundering and the respectful
decision by America to return the
recovered cultural treasures to their
proper countries, including Germany. |
