MOZART MINIATURE (In the it Happens series)

It happens.

The Mozart miniature statue was on the piano in a Parisian living room when the Vichy police

working with the Nazis was stolen.

After the war it found its way to Berlin when an American G.I. found it and brought it to New

York City.

In a pawnshop the owner of the Mozart miniature who was a pianist saw it in the window at

Christmas- Hanukkah time in December.

It was snowing and Anna spoke to the elderly proprietor. She invited him to her recital and

told her of her musical life interrupted by her time in a death camp and how Mozart saved her

life as she played him in her memory until liberation.

Anna received wonderful reviews and wherever she travels the miniature goes with her even

in Paris or Berlin.

When the curtain came down an unknown person wrote Anna a note, saying " I was young

and fascist, who invaded your studio now I am crippled by the war  in Russia and am truly sorry."
