SAMPLE EXCERPT: "What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?" According to Alyson Richman, several things served as her inspiration for writing The Lost Wife. Her initial inspiration was the desire to write about a lost Egon Schiele painting. She heard a story about a looted Klimt painting recently purchased by Ronald Lauder. But when she mentioned this to her agent, she informed Richman that the New York Times writer who had covered the story was also planning to write a nonfiction book about it. So that plan was busted. Furthermore, her agent wasn't enthusiastic about it, saying it was a topic that would be hard to sell. Richman's husband had the same reaction when she told him about it. But her fascination about art during the Holocaust, how people strived to create even under horrific circumstances and proved that the creative spirit cannot be suppressed by dire situations, did not go away. She just knew she had to find another way to go about it. (6) So, she did more research. That was when she came upon Dina Gottliebova, a Czech painter who had survived Auschwitz because she had done a mural of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on the children's barracks there. Josef Mengele approached her about painting Gypsies he was "studying" in his clinic, i.e. men and women he did horrific experiments with, and she agreed but only if she and her mother would be spared from the gas chamber. Further research about Dina revealed that she had been an art student in Prague before being sent to Terezin and working in what was called the Lautscher department, where prisoners made art reproductions, ornamentals and postcards that were sent and sold to people in Germany. - - - - Don't miss out!
