It might sound like a life of adventure: traveling the world, uncovering stolen Nazi treasures, going undercover to infiltrate underground networks of terror and bringing their leaders to justice.
But if there’s one thing that makes Yaron Svoray cringe, it’s anything that even remotely suggests his life is glamorous. To the general public, Svoray might be best known for his hunt of Nazi-era diamonds. Svoray’s search was documented on the History Channel’s special, “Blood From a Stone,” based on his book of the same title. But his recovery of Nazi treasures in France and Germany should not be overblown, he said.
