Description:I took another look at the Mendes documents, trying to put together all the pieces of the story Albert had so passionately narrated. Elias Mendes, a Turkish historian, was interrogated by the Nazis about the contents of an ancient Jewish library that disappeared after the war, never to be found again. Mendes had hidden the documents relating to his research, and no one could find them if he died. But what kind of research by a historian could be so important to the Nazis? ...“I see a lot of questions are drilling into your brain,” Albert said. “Most of them are a mystery to me too, but at least I can answer one: the reason I invited you here and told you this strange story. The answer is very simple. I want you to find out what happened to the books plundered by the Nazis in Rome,” Albert continued. “If you succeed, I’m sure we’ll be able to find out what Mendes was doing in Rome during those fateful days. Find the Library of the Jewish Community of Rome and perhaps, with a little luck, we will better understand the Mendes enigma.”Hollywood mogul Albert Cohn asks Otto Schmidt-Toledano, a specialist in restitution of works of art, to search for an ancient Jewish library looted by the Nazis in Rome during World War II. In the course of his investigation, Otto will travel halfway around the world, from Paris to Los Angeles, Istanbul to Venice, Seville to Rome. He will secure the contents of a Swiss bank’s vault and explore the depths of a Nazi bunker. He will have his loyalty tested by a Vatican envoy and suffer blackmail regarding a dark family secret. In his quest he will be supported by David, Albert's only son and a famous Nazi hunter, and Rebecca, the sly and knowledgeable chief librarian at Rome's Great Synagogue. Otto's quest for discovery is inextricably bound up with the cruel fate of Elias Mendes, a Turkish historian murdered at Auschwitz and a holder of deathly secrets.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
