There is an interesting story in today's NY Times on the efforts
of some people in the comic book industry (i.e., Neal Adams,
Joe Kubert, and Stan Lee) to help the concentration camp survivor
Dina Babbitt get back watercolors she made while in the camp
for Josef Mengele.  The watercolors are currently in the possession
of a Polish museum which is refusing to return them to Mrs. Babbitt.
After the war Mrs. Babbit came to the U.S. and became an
assistant animator for Hollywood studios.  

Neal Adams has put together a six-page comic that summarizes
Mrs. Babbitt's life story and this is available as a PDF on the
NYT website.  For more see:
