A fascinating book on the Hermitage during the siege of Leningrad in WWII. It includes photos of the collection now as well as photos and sketches made by the devoted staff of the Hermitage during the 900 days and nights they stayed in the Museum, helping to protect and preserve the cultural heritage not only of Russia, but of the world. The book also has transcription of the testimony given by Iosif Orbeli, given at the Nuremburg trials in 1946. The before and after photos as well as the sketches made by the staff and scholars make this book an interesting read from cover to cover.
