 According to the museum's website, seven of her portraits of Romani inmates were discovered after World War II outside the Auschwitz camp in the early 1970s and sold to the museum by people who apparently did not know that Gottliebova was still alive and living in California as Dina Babbitt.The museum asked Babbitt to return to the Auschwitz site in 1973 to identify her work.After she did so, she was informed that the museum would not allow her to take her paintings home.
