The person who posted the tribute never alleged that Adele Bloch-Bauer herself was a Holocaust victim. What she did note in her public post was that history is indeed repeating in its own way. Meanwhile, what should concern everyone is as follows:
While Adele Bloch-Bauer died of meningitis in 1925. Her niece Maria Bloch-Bauer Altmann would survive the Holocaust only to be taken advantage of by a grandson of Arnold Schoenberg, whom admitted that he represented her only for the money (He bullied his wife into accepting his so-called “representation” of his mother’s family friend. “To her credit, she said OK.” See https://paw.princeton.edu/article/return-treasure).
Maria Altmann did not get to do with the $54M for the painting of her aunt what she wanted to do, even though she was able to donate what Randy Schoenberg did not take from her (and that doesn’t include just money. It includes the trust that she could have had in a fellow Jew and a son of her friend.)
Among what scares me the most is that Randy Schoenbergs of the future are going to rise up to take advantage of October 7th survivors and blame Jewish victims for their own fates. If your concern is more over an AI-created tribute to the Bibas family than that bogdim like Randy Schoenberg will victimblame and take advantage of October 7th, that is on you.
PS Taking advantage of Maria Altmann was not the only way in which Randy Schoenberg is a boged and a complete disgrace (and I wish that it were only that someone would be sick enough to make up that Randy Schoenberg tweeted something like this. As far as I know, Twitter/“X” has yet to remove the despicable tweet):
