Harry Ettlinger, a veteran of the Monuments Men, with a photo of himself as a 19 year old G.I. The black and white photo was taken in one of the salt mines where the Nazis hid their stolen art. Ettlinger is looking a self-portrait of Rembrandt—a painting that was from his hometown of Karlsruhe, Germany. Ettlinger had never seen it when he lived there as a child—Jews were forbidden to enter the museum. Photo by Michelle Farnsworth.
