Swedish artist used Holocaust victims’ ashes in paining![]() December 6, 2012 - 20:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A painting by a Swedish artist which he says was made with ashes from a former Nazi concentration camp has been displayed in a gallery in Sweden, BBC News reported. Artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff said that he stole the ashes from the Majdanek camp during a visit in 1989. The camp, now a museum in Poland, has called the alleged theft an "unimaginably barbaric act". The artist said the ashes were mixed with water and used to paint a series of grey streaks in the small painting. Museum officials have said that the painting may be an artistic provocation but it deserves only condemnation. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
