We Spoke Out: Comic Books and the Holocaust #[nn]
"Master Race," a powerful story written by Rafael Medoff and illustrated by Neal Adams with inks by Adams and Joe Kubert, tells the true and haunting tale of Holocaust survivor Dina Gottliebova (Babbitt), who painted under duress for Dr. Josef Mengele at Auschwitz. Despite decades of advocacy—including support from the U.S. Congress, the David S. Wyman Institute, and over 450 comic creators—her artwork remains in the Auschwitz Museum, denied return. The cover, penciled and inked by Neal Adams, captures the weight of her story in stark, unforgettable detail.

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.
