Synopsis

The story of Holocaust survivor Dina Gottliebova (Babbitt) and her unsuccessful attempts to claim her artwork from the Auschwitz Museum in Poland. Painted under orders of the evil Dr. Josef Mengele when Dina was a prisoner in the death camp, her artwork was claimed by the museum after WWII ended. Despite efforts from the United States Congress and State Department, the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, and an appeal from more than 450 comic artists and cartoonists, including Neal Adams and Joe Kubert, the museum refused to return the work to Dina.
