Part three makes us feel like we’ve stepped into an Indiana Jones movie. “An archeologist fighting the Nazis to find the Necropolis while being sponsored by a mysterious oil man across the seas.” You just can’t make this stuff up.

George was made for such a time as this. The Vatican needed a donor that would give unlimited funds, keep the project a secret and take the risk that it may fail as it had already done twice before. Enter George W. Strake. His faith in God and in the project allowed him to be part of not just a great discovery, but also play a pivotal role with the 850,000 Italian Jews that would be saved from the Nazis.

What will Indiana George do next?
