Painting with eggs in Auschwitz
Artists at Auschwitz. There was a number of Jewish artists at the camp. One escaped the "gas chamber" by hiding in the hospital! Most of them survived. Of course, you normally have a few artists in a "death camp". Using egg yolks (mixed with colour pigments) in painting, was a method used by the Romans, and famously by Leonardo da Vinci.
