In this paper , Stone argues that it was artist Sieg Maandag's experience as a boy in Bergen-Belsen that stamped his career as an artist. Through an analysis of several paintings, Stone suggests that Maandag's concentration camp childhood and subsequent knowledge of the Holocaust are, as Raymond Federman says of his fiction, the "gap" in him that "controls my work and gives it its urgency."
