Translated from the German by Leila Vennewitz. Born 1917 in Berlin. In 1939 she was sent to live with her maternal grandparents in southern France. Beginning in 1940, in the greatest loneliness and distress, Charlotte tried to recapture a sense of reality and continuity be telling the story of her life and that of her family in pictures. In 769 merciless, humorous and unforgettable paintings, she elevated her life into theater, a form of existence in art that has more meaning than mere life. She numbered the paintings and divided them into a tight structure of Acts, Scenes and Chapters. She died in Auschwtitz in 1943. Life or Theater? is a unique achievement of art and literature. In good condition.
