Znáte její tvář, teď uslyšíte její hlas Mona Lisa se stala nejslavnějším obrazem všech dob, její tajemný úsměv je opředený tajemstvím a vyvolává spoustu otázek. V originálním pojetí britské spisovatelky Natashy Solomons přináší odpovědi obraz sám. Mona Lisa se zrodí díky tahům štětce Leonarda da Vinciho. Malíř záhy uslyší její hlas a vznikne láskyplné pouto trvající až do smrti velkého mistra. Mona Lisa prožívá s Leonardem jeho úspěchy i neúspěchy a vytvoří si zvláštní vztah ke svému předobrazu, k Moně del Giocondě, ale také k Salaimu, Leonardovu učedníkovi a milenci. Neustále vtipně komentuje okolní dění, ale slyší ji jen skuteční géniové, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raffael Santi a Picasso. Z Itálie se Mona Lisa dostává do Francie, kde zdobí královské zámky, setkává se s významnými osobnostmi, prožívá dějinné zvraty, únos a druhou světovou válku, až se jejím „domovem“ stane Louvre, kde ji můžeme vidět dodnes. Ale mějte na paměti, že když se na ni díváte, dívá se i ona na vás.

They are the confidants and bankers of governments and emperors. Little happens without their say-so and even less without their knowledge. But Greta Goldbaum has no say at all in who she'll marry. While power lies in wealth, strength lies in family. Greta's union with cousin Albert will strengthen the bond between the Austrian and the English branches of the dynasty.

But when the three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement.

We felt an urge to document what we had witnessed. If we who had experienced it, I reasoned, did not reveal the bitter truth, people simply would not believe the extent of the Nazis' evil. I wanted to share our life, the events and our struggle to survive.' Thomas Geve was just 15 years old when he was liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp on 11 April 1945. It was the third concentration camp he had survived. Upon arrival at Auschwitz- Birkenau, Thomas was separated from his mother and left to fend for himself in the men's camp of Auschwitz I, at the age of 13. During the 22 months he was imprisoned, he was subjected to, and forced to observe first-hand, the inhumane world of Nazi concentration camps. On his eventual release Thomas felt compelled to capture daily life in the death camps in more than eighty profoundly moving drawings. Infamous scenarios synonymous with this dark period of history were portrayed in poignant but simplistic detail with extraordinary accuracy. Despite the unspeakable events he experienced, Thomas decided to become an active witness and tell the truth about life in the camps. He has spoken to audiences from around the world and continues to raise awareness about the Holocaust. The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz presents a rare living testimony through the eyes of a child who had the unique ability to observe and remember every detail around him and chose to document it all.
