Marianne Grant

Holocaust survivor and artist; Born September 19, 1921; Died December 11, 2007. Marianne Grant, who has died aged 86, survived three concentration camps largely thanks to a prodigious artistic talent. The title of a book she wrote in her 81st year, I Knew I Was Painting for My Life, starkly summed up her experience of being ordered to sketch death camp prisoners by the notorious SS doctor Josef Mengele.
