One of the closest friends I had in Toronto, Canada, while in exile outside of the USA over SE Asian wars, was an elderly Tolstoyan portrait painter. She started life in the “court” of Joseph Stalin, since her dad was Stalin’s “court” painter. She fled Stalinism by way of Bulgarian Tolstoyans to Paris. Where in the 1940s, she was shipped to Auschitz as a partisan opposing Nazi occupation — surviving due to her ability to distinquish paint colors. Since IG Farben Inc ran Auschitz industrially, as the German equivalent of the U.S. DuPont Inc, apparently even corporately interlinked. She and her friends would sometimes share “old times” over balalaika music in her home. Her paintings went to the Royal Canadian Museum of Art in Toronto after her death.
