The Untapped New York Podcast
A WWII Resistance Spy and Her NYC Connections
A conversation between Michelle Young, Untapped New York's founder and Justin Rivers, our Chief Experience Officer, about Michelle's newest book, The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland. Michelle and Justin delve into who Rose Valland was and the brave things she did, the story of Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg and his family, which allowed Michelle to write about her first love, New York City, and Rosenberg's clients including characters like Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. There’s also a wild World’s Fair connection in the book.
