Saved by the paintings
Article Abstract:
When Dina Gottliebova was 20, the Nazi "Angel of Death," Joseph Mengele, asked her to paint watercolor portraits of nine Gypsy inmates at the Auschwitz concentration camp, whose ethnic skin tones he could not capture correctly with his basic color camera. In 1973, Gottliebova discovered that seven of the paintings still existed, but the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, which has the paintings, are reluctant to give them to the artist.
