I've seen this story before. I have seen more of her artwork as well. If it were anywhere but Auschwitz I would have to say that the paintings were paid for. She negotiated and got what she wanted. In this case, Auschwitz needs to have the survivors in mind, NOT the worth of the collection. I think the Holocaust survivors should get anything and everything they can. These people lost all they had and Auschwitz is still taking. Disgusting, in my opinion. If there is ANYTHING there that can be claimed by a family member, then damn it, it should be given back. If there is anything that the Holocaust SHOULD have taught us is that no one should have the right to dictate over another. No matter how sacred the site of Auchwitz or any other camp is, the managers should think about the fact that without those who survive, then they hold on to death and death alone. They need to teach life, support forgiveness, and let the killing grounds make amends to those they have destroyed.
