Ruth Ehler recounts the role her grandfather, Ralph Hammett, had during WWII as one of the Monument Men. The Monument Men was a small corps of mostly middle-aged men and a few women who interrupted their careers to recover countless artworks stolen by the Nazis. The Monuments Men and Women Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to raise worldwide awareness about the service of the Monuments Men and Women (MFAA), honor them for their achievements, complete their unfinished mission of returning missing art to the rightful owners, and educating the public on the importance of preserving our shared cultural art.
