From a fairy tale-inspiring castle in the Bavarian Alps to a serene sculpture of Mary and Jesus by Michelangelo tucked away in a church in Belgium, sites and works of art across Europe can give travelers a glimpse at the heroic work done by those who worked to save cultural treasures during World War II.(AP Photo/National Archives and Records Administration)
