This a "story about the largest collection of Jewish books in the world--tens of millions of books that the Nazis looted from European Jewish families and institutions ... After the war, Allied forces discovered these troves of stolen books but quickly found themselves facing a barrage of questions. How could the books be identified? Where should they go? Who had the authority to make such decisions? Eventually the military turned the books over to an organization of leading Jewish scholars called Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, Inc."--Amazon.com.
